YEAH I WON!!

Last night it was the 2011 Travel Awards ceremony hosted by the Italian Tourist Board at the Vanilla club in London and I won the 'Best Travel Photography' section for my photographs on the Basilicata district of Southern Italy. The piece was written by the excellent travel writer David Gerrie. So very pleased for everyone who worked on the piece and the wonderful Food & Travel Magazine who I've been working for about 7 years now. Met some great people, drank a bit too much and beat Conde Nast Traveller Magazine which is also a nice bonus!

LONDON GIF

I'm on a bit of a roll at the moment with my animated gifs or sometimes referred to as cinemagraphs. This one was taken on the same day in London as the one below and just couldn't resist the irony of this statue busker moving while everyone else is frozen in time. This one was taken in Convent Garden where a lot of these buskers hang out.
