Wow what a total buzz to be asked to be a judge in Australia's most prestigious portrait prize - The National Photographic Portrait Prize now in it's tenth year. I was at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra yesterday choosing the winner and the runner up. A few weeks ago we edited an initial 3000+ images over a couple of days and got them down to the amazing 49 finalists. Then the fun began as we whittled our favourites down to the last two! I'm pictured with the other judges Curator Joanna Gilmore and Exhibition Curator Christine Clark. The show opens this Friday night at the NPG and it's going to be a blast. Good luck to all the finalists.
