Optimism



Taken on the first day of the G8 protests. After I left my office, I headed along Princes Street to see what was happening. The police were just blocking access to the rest of the street. The \jumper\ is a member of the Rebel Clown Army who was trying to taunt them. This photo has actually just won first prize in a photography competition which relates to an exhibition by the famous USA based Scottish photographer, Harry Benson who has taken some very famous and iconic images. I get to have dinner with the great man himself...and this picture will be exhibited in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery during August, alongside his work. Now that\s what I call seriously COOL!
