Congratulations to the Renaissance team and committee, and in particular to Fiona Gifford and Monica Takvam, on a most successful Renaissance Photography Prize 2011 – fundraising a record amount towards Breast Cancer Care.  The exhibition and gala event were a success with over 500 people in attendance at the Gala event.

I was surprised and honored to receive two awards for my images Lamp Mobile and Free on the Range for the categories of Environment and Motion respectively.  A special thanks to judges Michael Hoppen, Brian Aris, Bridgette Lardinois, Philippe Garner, Rhonda Wilson and Lorna-Mary Webb.  It was wonderful meeting the panel in person, as well as many of my fellow photographers.

London wouldn’t have been the same without friends.  A big thanks to the crew that supported me and shared pints:  Alex, Anna, Antonio, Avid, Blake, Doug, Courtney, Ed, Erin, Esther, Fran, Liana, Mark, Mike, Seiji and Scott.
