LOCAL photographer David Wilson has scooped an award in the prestigious Welsh Salon of Photography 2004.
David, who was among eight individual winners drawn from 226 entrants who submitted 1,500 photographs, won the WDA Trophy for the Best Print on Industry in Wales.
His winning black and white print, entitled 'Neighbour from Hell', depicts a Pembrokeshire farmhouse dwarfed by Texaco refinery.
