2022 Rural Press Club of Victoria awards
Commended: Sports photography

Judge’s comments: One of only a few black and whites. I really enjoyed studying the windswept sand dunes, moody sky and intriguing tree with the ominous character far off in the distance.



2021 Rural Press Club of Victoria awards
Highly commended: Sports photography

Judge’s comments: Colin's entry depicts a cultural mainstay of Brunswick in all its colour and beauty - the street market. Sheltered by the Collier Clothing carpark in Hope Street Brunswick, the photograph captures a snapshot of a clothing market in full swing complete with the area's trademark industrial streetscape adorned in graffiti. It is an image that distils the essence of Brunswick into a single frame, perfectly narrating its civic edge, the authenticity of its people and the kaleidoscopic grit of its streetscapes.
