[Leica] 2017 Barnack Award

[Douglas Barry]

Yup, what Abusdal has done by fire scorching his images is stretching 
the boundaries of the rules beyond breaking point in my opinion. Abusdal 
abused all, and seems to have channeled Twin Peaks on acid.
Reportage it's not, but the contest is supposed to be about the 
interrelationship about man and and his environment, so in a broad way 
that could be construed from most of the images too.
