July Newsletter
Last MeetingThis months meeting saw everybody bringing in “5 of the best and 1 of the worst”. We saw great variety of stunning pictures and we learnt a lot about the sort of work our members like to produce. It was particularly good to see our new members showing their work. A good evening was had by all as they explained about the techniques employed in the good and the worst of their pictures.
Next Month
Wednesday 16th July
Royal Photographic Society Projected Image Exhibition of 2007
This is a digital slide show of the Exhibition. The International Projected Image Exhibition has been well established within the photographic fraternity for many years and continues to attract a very high entry worldwide. It is an open competition in which there are three categories: Open Digital, General Slide (excluding Nature) and Nature Slide. Any subject matter, including Nature, may be entered in the Open Digital section. There are Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards in all categories and the exhibition has, for some years, been awarded recognition by the Photographic Society of America and all acceptances can be credited towards PSA Star Ratings.
We hope to see all the entries in the different categories. There will be a musical accompaniment to this show, with some observations made by Paul Kestenbaum, our programme secretary.
Coming up
We have a lecture on print mounting and presentation by one of our own members, Don Bax. We also have a selection of entries to the London Salon Exhibition. This is one of the most prestigious exhibition in the world. You have to be invited to become a member of the Salon.
Exhibition
Our own exhibition this year opens on 10th October, so we need all entries by the September meeting at the latest. If you cant make it to the meeting members can leave their pictures with me, Jim Howard, at my house. Just give me a call to arrange a delivery. A fee of £5 will be applied to each member who enters, to cover the cost of administration etc.
I went up to Brixton today to the Photofusion Gallery to see Janelle Lynch’s “River”, hoping it might be worth writing about. It wasn’t! I won’t be going there again. But Brixton Market is well worth a visit. It’s busy, noisy and colourful; definitely worth a few pictures.
