I’m always living part of my life through a viewfinder
” To win this award is a real honour for me. Whether I’m operating with the pole system, or just enjoying a day out with the family, I’m always living part of my life through a viewfinder, looking for the best angle, special light and the right moment to press the shutter.”[SD]
