[Leica] Barnack Award 2015 - Public Award - it looks like Leica photography

[Sonny Carter]

Thank you George, 

It is the newcomer award, not the grand prize. 

We need to be encouraging youngsters, not berating them over how we would do it.

There was a time when I was in my twenties, that if so many good photographers berated my stuff, I might have given it up.

Contrary to some of the remarks here, several of the shots are pretty dang good in composition and drew me in.  I'm really happy I looked at them before I read the thread.
