... acclaimed international photographer, author, musician, (as well as being one of the three photo contest judges) and of course, Sir Paul's brother - with (left) Cultural & Community Champion, Donna Williamson, another judge. The third judge was the renowed Liverpudlian photographer and film maker, Mark McNulty.
Little did I realise as I "clicked" that a cheque with my name on was in the envelope he's holding, and that I had won.
What a wonderful night it was as the contest results were announced. And, what a wonderful bunch of people I found myself among, including not just the famous, but also some of Flickr's finest Flickr-friends - both old and new.

At 'Cafe Sport Express' in Liverpool One for photo contest awards ceremony, where I was named as one of the three different category winners. I didn't know when I took the shot that a cheque with my name on was in that envelope.
And btw, contrary to many media reports of brother Paul's wedding yesterday, Mike was NOT best man

In Liverpool One, begining @ Cafe Sport Express & running down to the fountains of Thomas Steer Way. On display 'til 3rd October are the winners & short listed entries in the North Liverpool 'Show Your Beautiful Face' photography contest. Definitely worth seeing, and not just 'coz of the obvious. There are some 1st class pictures, including 'Places' group winners, Adam Atkins', and Terry Bouch's (shown above with rosette) overall winner. Btw, the hand pointing @ my pic on the big TV screen, is Ray Wood's (G8light).
