I feel your disappointment, Brian. I had a look at Eric Shusser’s work, on
ericshusser.com and some of it is pretty good; some tends towards cliché and
all of his work seems to be substantially processed. I’d say that he was
probably a worthy winner, if the judges were looking for something like that.
I hope that the flowers bit takes place.
