PD "There were two images in the 2010 Foto8 Summer Show that stopped me in my tracks and forced a sharp intake of admiration. In addition to my own two entries there was also a 3rd. It was a wallop to the senses. I'd discovered something rare and raw. The last time I experienced comparable excitement was looking through 'Tulsa' by Larry Clark. I was perhaps a little disappointed then that the image won First Prize - 'Shay' by Laura Pannack. I wanted it to be my favourite, to own it and to whisper about its genius but well done judges, in my opinion the best image won, well 3rd best...."
