Our Photo Challenge 27 was simple enough - namely, to capture a musical performance. We decided to give the winner's guernsey to Mat Moore for his untitled but interestingly complex study of a musician and his audience of one [right, and larger image below]. It's a very nicely composed image, with an intriguing visual tension between the two subjects.
We're pleased to be sending Mat the superb set of Volumes 8, 9, and 10 of the Fuji ACMP Australian Photograpahers Collection.
Our runner up image was captured by George Cook with his Canon A75 and who writes: 'The sounds of jazz music wafted out to meet me as I walked under a Paris pedestrian tunnel. The source was this one man band. There was nobody else in sight, but he was determinedly blowing his trumpet, playing his accordion and hitting his drums long before I appeared. He was not bad, either. I left a few coins in his hat, stopped to listen for a while then took my photo, receiving a smile in return. As I walkedinto the distance, he still was playing to a non-existent audience. I'd like to think the photo conveys the loneliness of this solitary busking jazzman.'
Runner up: George Cook
Winner: Mat Moore
