[Leica] Barnack Award

[Douglas Barry]

Having googled it, I see the international jury of the Leica Oskar Barnack 
Award / Newcomer Award 2015 was made up of:

Michael Biedowicz, Redaktion ZEITmagazin, Photography Department
Christian Caujolle, Curator, Founder and former Director of Agence VU
Karin Rehn-Kaufmann, Chief Representative Leica Galleries International
Martin Kollar, Photographer, Slowakia
Brigitte Schaller, Art Direction, LFI Magazine

I selected one of the jury to google further and picked on Christian 
Caujolle. I found he has a Facebook page in his name  His description is the 
unassumingly modest "Public Figure". 
https://www.facebook.com/caujollechristian

Based in that, I find myself thinking "How does this man keep himself clean 
shaven, as it appears he might well have his head firmly up his own 
buttocks...."

You, of course may think differently.

Douglas

Who is going to bed to lie prone and count rain soaked plasticised chinese 
cyclists through closed eyes. I will of take a selfie of myself doing this, 
and fully expect to win the Barnack Newcomer Award in 2016.
