Regardless, of opinions of his work any of us hold, he won.
Most importantly, besides the €1,500 prize, which wouldn't have paid to
replace the equipment he sold, he got what he really needed, new
equipment and seed money for at least one more project, until his
sponsors figure out the wrong guy won the prize.

I'm reminded of a Jewish friend who said the best type of musician for a
Jew to be is a violinist as, in times of trouble, you could abandon all
your possessions but flee with your violin and at least make some money
on a street corner in a new country.

Instead, this fellow sold the tools of his talent in order to make car
payments (etc.).

He should have sold the car, perhaps.

Nice to see that in the end it worked out better for him.

Didn't even notice it. I was caught up in the shadows, silhouettes, the
light picked up in the dust, contrast, detail in the sand, movement and
structure of the figures...

Yeah, I'm sure it was all a plot and scam from Dougie boy...
Had an anglo or a jew won, there would be no end to the fawning.
Speaking of which: what happened to the stupid bitch?
Ah yes: the moron is not here anymore, so she's moved.
Of course!

Seriously? It's so blatantly obvious. Either he used very poor quality
equipment or he added it in post-processing.
