Hilary George and I



My wonderful friend Hilary www.hwp.com.au was short listed in the "Head On" alternative portrait prize. We went up to Sydney for the exhibition opening, which was at the Centre for Photography.
George Negus opened the exhibition and it was a real pleasure to meet him. Hilary's entry was a very beautiful and sensitive photograph taken of her dear friend Billy just after his death from cancer. The winning entry was also of a person who had passed away. It was taken in a controversial way since the photographer straddled the coffin to snap the shot.
