A black and white picture of a young man's feet in tatty sneakers standing in a puddle.  A young girl's feet are on tippy toe facing the young man as if reaching up to him.

If a picture tells a thousand stories, the Black Dog Institute has unearthed nearly half a million from a photo competition - Snapping the Black Dog - that looked at capturing hope and resilience through the eye of the lens The competition, conducted with sponsorship from Nikon Australia, attracted around 450 entries from all over Australia and overseas.Winner of the first prize was Nicolette Quittner from Mosman NSW.  She described her photograph (pictured) as the "confrontation of what is seemingly negative with something positive, vibrant and hopeful.”
