YP Comment: Post photographers in spotlight
THEY say a picture is worth a thousand words '“ and this certainly applies to The Yorkshire Post's multi award-winning team of photographers whose technical expertise, and exceptional eye for detail, captures the essence of this great county, warts and all, on a daily basis.
