I'm just going to have to trust you completely...

Was absolutely chuffed to bits to actually WIN!!!!!
the Urban75 April photo competition with this shot of the Reclaim the Streets party at Angel Islington in the summer of 2005. Hective reminded me that it was he who had brought the water key to switch that thing on in the first place, and how it was well appreciated in the baking hot sun...
I felt a tiny bit guilty entering a picture so old, but the competitions' theme was wet and that shot, one of my all time favourites, kept staring at me exuding wetness, so I put in in on the last day and it was a landslide victory.
It made me think about the days when I took it, fresh out of film school, I actually considered myself a photographer back then. I feel sad that I've virtually given up shooting stiuff on my SLR camera, and feel it was no accident that a picture taken the old fashioned way should be a winner for me, there simply isn't as much control with my little digital Sony...
The challenge for me now, is to win with a recent shot, then I will feel more justified...
As winner, I got to choose this months theme, and I went for self-portraiture, for some reason which is baffeling me now, because I cant bear to look at my self in photos now I'm getting old, and am reluctant to enter another archive shot.
Also some regulars really objected to my choice of theme, saying it was to close to what had gone before, and there was a bit of an argument about it, but enough people liked the idea, and the competition is going ahead...
