    Great stuff...

    This one was printed in the Sunday Time last week - I couldn't stop looking at it.
    Incredibly gritty capture.

    That basketball shot looks so...painful.

    I thought the rocket shot from Gaza was a really powerful image too.

    the winning shot is on the cover of the Irish Times . I absolutly love it, so much fealing ... technically not perfect .. but if a photo has fealing it works .... my aim for 2008 is to perfect the basic photographic rules .. but my heart wants to break them all

    Absolutely stunning shots, every last one... Arctic Ocean (last set) and the Afghanistan sets are my favourites of the lot, breathtaking stuff.

    I came across the exhibition in Prague last year and it was such a fantastic selection of pictures.

    Likewise I happened on it in Portugal.

    I found some of the reportage photography extremely difficult to stomach - particularly the warzone photography - and knew then I would never, ever be a press photographer.

    I saw the last one in London thanks to information from boardsies.
    It is worth of seeing, in print, large prints and with lots of time.
    If you want to go to Boards trip to Prague, let me know, we can arrange something there. That would be nice photography trip - beer for 80 cents and less ;-)
