A BARNSLEY photographer and sufferer of Parkinson’s disease has been highly commended at the 2016 Mervyn Peake Awards.
Alan Osborne, 61, was commended in the photography category at the awards, which are organised by the charity Parkinson’s UK, in memory of the late artist and author Mervyn Peake, who lived with Parkinson’s.
The Mervyn Peake Awards are exclusively open to people with Parkinson’s, and invites people to submit creative entries in a range of categories, including photography, books and poetry.
“Photography, and anything creative, seems to let me be free for a little while from the grip of my Parkinson’s,” said Alan.
