I drank a fair amount of champagne and felt quite delicate the day after. I\u2019d just won Bloomberg, Business Photographer of the year; my first <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pictureeditorsguildawards.co.uk\/\">Picture Editors Guild<\/a> Award after entering the same competition at every opportunity since I was at college.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nLast week, I attended the same event and to my surprise&#8230;. I managed to do it again. This year I had stiff competition with nominations for 3 of the best news photographers that are currently working in the U.K; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/devlinanthony\">Anthony Devlin<\/a>, my friend the exceptionally talented <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leonneal.com\">Leon Neal<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StefanWermuth\">Stefan Wermuth<\/a> from Reuters. My reward was a handshake with <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nigel_Farage\">Nigel Farage<\/a>&#8230; and a lovely shiny trophy to put alongside last years in our front room.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nIt was an absolute honor to be recognised for what I do within the industry, but it really wouldn\u2019t be possible without the support the Bloomberg picture desk, a great team who I love working for.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nI was also nominated as British Airways, Entertainment and Fashion Photographer of the year for the images I have been shooting with the Independent and was highly commended in this category.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nImages in this post were shot for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/\">Bloomberg News<\/a> and won the business category. An exhibition featuring images from all nominees of this years awards is currently on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.museumoflondon.org.uk\/london-wall\/whats-on\/exhibitions-displays\/uk-picture-editors-guild-awards\/\">display at The Museum of London<\/a>.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jasonalden.com\/index.php\/2013\/11\/10\/business-photographer-of-the-year-part-ii-featuring-nigel-farage\/ax066_7a51_9\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1814\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jasonalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/AX066_7A51_9-420x279.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"AX066_7A51_9\" width=\"420\" height=\"279\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1814\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nMark Carney arrives for his first day as the new Governor of The Bank of England<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; 12 months ago, I had a very good night out.
