And the name of the photogenic huntress? Most apt.
I note also that third prize went to Jeffrey Stockbridge's 'Tic Tac and Tootsie' a portrait of two girls very much on the other, less enjoyable, end of America's plutocracy from the fortunate Ms Slaughter.
Yes, 2 prostitutes and a fat teenager were runners up. The two I posted are gobsmacking in completely different ways.
No doubt about that.
