2nd place!

While all has been quiet on the blogging front, it’s been far from quiet in real life.  Moving house, expecting my first baby, meeting my new born niece- stuff has been happening.  Good stuff.  Just not blog appropriate stuff.

After a few terrible years, 2012 seems to be looking up.  Long may it last.

Right now I am sitting in remotest Sutherland on a day that would not go amiss in the depth of winter, at a hotel which combines the charm and warmth of the hotel from The Shining, cross with a bit of Faulty Towers. However, there is minimal wifi connection, which has given me the chance to jot a few overdue words.  I should chose these word wisely- if our initial impression of our hotel is anything to go by, they may be my last.

….I am not feeling full of wisdom today, so instead I will just have a wee gloat- that photography competition, the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year at The Mall Galleries in London….

Woo Hoo!

And here’s the picture:

And here it is, hanging on the wall of the Mall Galleries and me, trying to look cool calm and collected after the winners were announced:

Sweet!

Feeling pretty chuffed.  And, it’s available to buy!  Here: http://www.pinkladyfoodphotographeroftheyear.com/gallery  

Next stop, National Portrait Galleries!

Food Photographer of the Year finalist- Moi?

I have been neglectful of WordPress lately.  Not through any deliberate intent.  I did not win the lottery, therefore leading a wonderful new life and have no time for blogging, but I am in the throws of moving house.  Once settled I will endeavour to remedy this situation but in the mean time I hope my absence is justified.

However, I have taken some time out from wrapping, boxing, packing and painting to share some exciting news.  I am a finalist in the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the year!   This was unexpected but I am thrilled and humbled to be selected for this. On 24th April I will be scooting down to London for the winners reception at the Mall Galleries. I have no expectations but I am so looking forward to seeing all the other entries and perhaps enjoying a cheeky glass of bubbles.

So far 2012 is shaping up to be an exciting year! Whatever next? 🙂

Anyway, back to the box unpacking…..
