In review of the recent Isle of Wight Photographer of the Year Awards, an image by Colin and prose by Amanda has made the Amateur Photographer Magazine news page.

Of course this is not the first time the Isle of Wight Digital Imaging Group or the IWPOY have featured in the news or in the world renowned AP magazine and we are sure it wont be the last.

The article and image relates to former Amateur Photographer Magazine Features Editor Bob Aylott on winning the Julia Margaret Cameron Award.
