Firstly, apologies for the lack of a selection yesterday.

Our pick today is ‘What is England?’, a project from Stuart Pilkington. The project involves 50 photographers, one representing each English county and each submitting a single photograph in response to six different assignments. The first assignment, and the one published this week, is ‘Person’.

Two Nova photographers, Ben Roberts and Sarah Amy Smith are taking part in the project as is Nova partner Andrew Newson.

Sarah’s work first came to my attention about 6 months ago, I think it was through Flickr that we ‘met’. Her ‘Of Land and Sea’ series really struck a chord with me, having spent many family holidays as a child in Cornwall, these images seemed so real and honest.

I am going to contact Sarah to see if there is a possibility of Nova selling one of her images, as they are just stunning. But don’t just take my word for it, go and check out her site.
