The Centre for Contemporary Photography CCP Salon 2013 opened last night and my photo ‘iShadow, 2012’ was awarded Third Drawer Down Most Humorous Image prize.

This is the first time I took part in CCP Salon. Super happy that a Ballarat photo won something this year! Opening the exhibition, Minister of the Arts Heidi Victoria mentioned Ballarat Foto Biennale a couple of times. Thanks to the CCP and the sponsors for putting up a fantastic show and thanks to Third Drawer Down for my $250 voucher!!

Biggest thanks to my assistant on that day Albert Ferguson and my fantastic wedding Clients Jo & Hamish who are the subject of this beautiful photograph. CCP Salon is on show until Saturday 14 December, 500 photographs to see http://www.ccp.org.au/exhibitions.php?f=Gallery_1
