I was delighted to find out on Saturday that I had been awarded a Bronze award at the 2009 Federation of European Professional Photographers for the image that won me Best Commercial Image at the IPPA awards last January. This is a judging of work of the highest standard in Europe and to say I was thrilled to even be in the same list as some of the true greats in photography, would be an understatement.

This years IPPA awards, the best of Irelands photography, is on in 2 weeks time. I have entries in a number of categories, both single image and portfolio awards. So fingers crossed!!
