Lisa Snowdon announcing the winners of the Currys Our Lives Digital Photography Competition, at the Mall Galleries last night.
...not me! As expected none of my shortlisted photos were the eventual winners in this years Currys Our Lives Digital Photography Competition, announced at the special awards evening at Mall Galleries, last night, by model and TV presenter Lisa Snowdon.
The overall winner, as well as winner of the O ur People catagory, was Sandboy by Jonny Thatcher. Showing a young boy curled up in a hole in the sand on the beach in Hunstanton, it certainly had the cute "ahhh" factor, as well a nice muted tones and lovely light.
Winner of the Our Culture catagory was This Is England Now by Kevin Lake which showed a monochrome scene of a couple of men, with a dog, running to escape a sudden summer shower. Shot from a low angle it was one of my personal favourites, so I was delighted it was selected as a winner.
The Our Environment catagory was won with Beauty & The Beast by Kathryn Ramsay. An intriguing shot of a power station creating a rainbow with the steam it was emitting into the atmosphere it was certainly a beautiful shot. Kathryn also wins my special award for sexiest dress of the evening and prettiest winner!
Man At Work by Bernard Yeo was the winner of the Our Work catagory. Dramatically showing a trainee welder at work, with sparks flying everywhere, it was certainly an eye-catching piece.
It was a fun evening made even more enjoyable by the glasses of bubbly and live jazz band. I'd encourage you all to enter next year, should you have the chance!

Hard luck! Also had photo in contest but couldn't make London. How were the photos presented? What Happens to them? So much depends on what the judges want. See you next year!
Nick.
