Considering how little I’m shooting this year, it’s probably no surprise that my blog has been pretty stagnant.

Following my recent “success” (and I use that term loosely) at the Mondial Salon in Luxembourg, I’ve just received the notification back from the 4 star Vigex Australian salon. Unfortunately all of my images were outside of the medals placings, but I did have 10 of my 11 submitted images accepted to the salon So that’s now 77 acceptances from 28 different images, across 9 different salons in 6 different countries, including 3 awards…. and counting.
