Oops by Martin Smith
Our Second Place Winner was submitted by
Martin Smith from Bulgaria
Born in the U.K. in 1952, I am a semi retired amateur Photographer. I retired to a small village called Stambolovo located in South Bulgaria in 2012 where I now live with my Bulgarian wife, Aneta and Poppy the dog. I spend most of my time passionately renovating the 80-year-old house where we live and what spare time I get is spent on the other passion in my life, photography. I love to take photographs in any and all situations but my main area of interest is the innovative use of every day objects to create thought provoking photographic images.
