I’ve been badgering Jamie for some time now to take his photography to the next level. I mean, some of his shots are breath-taking, aren’t they?
Having reluctantly agreed he generously allowed me to do the legwork. I decided to start by entering his work into some competitions, this would get his name and work known.
It seems that my nagging is beginning to pay off. Firstly, we are going to be published, but more about that exciting news in a future post. Secondly, he’s just won his first ever competition!
Encouraged by his Auntie Chris, we decided to enter one of his photos into The Times Travel Photo Competition.
You can see it in today’s Times, in the ‘Life’ section. You can also view it here:

When the link is opened you will be asked to register with the Timesonline, which only takes a few moments and is free, then you’ll be directed to the page. And for those who don’t want the hassle of registering with The Times, see below.
Happy viewing!

Truly excellent photo Jamie, no wonder it won. I can imagine having this on the wall and noticing something new in it each time I looked at it.
