Photo 2021, the Australian International Festival of Photography in Melbourne,
displays the winning images of this year’s Portrait of Humanity Award/BJP 1854
all in the streets around Melbourne as part of their public outdoor exhibition.
Happy to see "Lilly and Waltraud" from my series All This Love among the
intense images of the other winners.
This is a great way to have work displayed - not only in times of a pandemic!
