BP portrait  Award 2010,  Oil with acrylic background on canvas, Even  though it is  a  painting , the  digitalisation and reproduction of the  image transforms it back into photography ( note to self:  re-read W Benjamin's  Art  in the  Age of Mechcanical Reproduction... it seems  to get ever more  relevant  in the digital age ).  Could  we see painting like this  as an honorable meditation on very  very  slow photography (with highly tuned rendering and observational  skills...).. A cross over image from painting  into photography
