Alex_Mustard 0 Posted October 20, 2005 Still caught up in all the associated events. It is crazy. Such as fuss is made about it. But it is a very cool event - and now I have been part of it I want to again. I have a winner in Animal Portraits - that I am very proud about as it is the biggest category. And I have a runner up in the Animal Behaviour (non birds and mammals), which is good too. My picture is everywhere - it is in several of the national papers here in the UK today - on all the official materials. I am fed up of looking at it, to be honest. Plus there is so much merchandise books, magazines, postcards etc. I have bags full of the stuff! I also had a very good time at the award ceremony last night - free beer and bad behaviour. And thanks to JP for picking up the pieces. I also went on to BSoUP last night and found out I was the joint winner of the Best of British Portfolio - which I was pretty chuffed with considering I don't dive in the UK!

Alex_Mustard 0 Posted October 20, 2005 Thanks again, everyone. It is really sinking in now and I have a big grin on my face. Judging from the emails, text messages etc I have got today it is amazing how many people see the pictures (especially non-photographers). Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
