Winners of major black and white photo competition revealed
January 21, 2021
The 7th annual Monochrome Photography Awards winners have been revealed, with over 7,000 images from 91 countries submitted to this year’s competition. The overall winner of the professional category is Ksystof Mozyro, who triumphed with his image, ‘Opponents,’ which show as standoff during a Black Lives Matter protest.
“These photographs were taken on 6th June 2020, during the London protest,” he explains. “I found myself in the centre of the gathering, experiencing the whole range of human emotions and observing the uncommon behaviour… Just around 11 PM, after many hours of standing in the crowd, I was taken for the police investigation. The officer interviewed me and checked the ID. Finally, I was able to leave but advised not to return to the city centre within 24 hours as this would result in being arrested.”

Countries bar UK travel to block new COVID strain
Mutations are common
It s not unusual to discover such a mutation. In China, for example, where the pandemic originated in late 2019, a new variant of the pathogen was already circulating six months ago. In the summer, another variant spread rapidly from Spain to half of Europe. Viruses mutate all the time, and in most cases these mutations have no or only minimal effects.
Despite all attempts at isolation, the mutation now confirmed in southern England has also long since spread to mainland Europe and other parts of the world, according to Christian Drosten, virologist at the Charite Hospital in Berlin. The virus has been present in England since at least late September, he said. We know now: it s already in Italy, in the Netherlands, in Belgium, in Denmark even in Australia. Why shouldn t it be in Germany?
