This is because Rod Whelans, who organises the Masters of Print competition is coming to BPS to present the Society with the Gold Club Award.
|
 |
|
Following the presentation, we have the main event of the evening, a sort of "buy one, get one free", when we welcome BPS members Sue O'Connell FIPF ARPS EFIAP/d3 DPAGB ABPE and Peter Brisley ARPS DPAGB BPE 2* EFIAP.
Since joining BPS as rookies back in the early noughties, and making their first tentative entries into club competitions, Sue and Peter have gone on to gain distinctions and awards, becoming busy speakers and judges, both at home and abroad. Just shows what BPS membership can do for you!

Over the years they have photographed in many remote places in a wide range of genres, but above all, they enjoy engaging with, and photographing people.
Sue's work has been shown in a number of exhibitions, including (memorably!) the Travel Photographer of the Year at the Royal Geographic Society. In tonight's presentation. TRAVELS in ETHIOPIA + My Journey To an FIPF, she will talk about the most challenging trip to date, and look at how images of Ethiopian tribespeople were developed into a successful F Panel for the Irish Photographic Federation.
Peter's path has taken him away from competitions and salons in pursuit of his own individual style. Miscellany, his latest PRINT talk, is a free-wheeling whistle-stop tour reflecting his interests in a wide variety of subject matter including architecture, abstractions, and impressions of Japan, with a few surprises along the way!

A photographer needed to take photos of a dress rehearsal of a musical. The dress rehearsal will be on the 21st March in the afternoon. Would need the photographer to be available at the venue (The Alma Tavern, Bristol) from 12pm till around 4pm. To take as many pictures of the dress rehearsal.
Unfortunately because we're a small theatre company on a really tight budget we can't afford to pay you but we will give you a complimentary ticket to the show on the performance of your choice.

Salon acceptances: Contrary to popular belief, I do not possess psychic powers and need you to tell me if you've had successes. If you want to blow your own trumpet (or someone else's), then this is the place to do it. Please let me know and I'll include details in a future issue.
|
If you have any photographic items for sale, drop me a line and I'll include it in the next newsletter. Please make sure that you provide contact details, price and full description of the sale items (pictures always help). |
IMPORTANT: Personal Detail Changes |
Please don't forget that if you change your address (home or email), or gain additional photographic distinctions, it would be appreciated if you could let the Membership Secretary know so that she can keep her records up to date, this will also ensure that you continue to receive your newsletters - please email all changes to membership@bristolphoto.org.uk.
The distinctions we have on record are those shown at the top of this newsletter, please remember, if you don't tell us we can't possibly know!
DO NOT REPLY TO THE NEWSLETTER.

For those of you who aren't sure what MPAGB, EFIAP/s and many more such seemingly random collections of letters mean, just click here to see the list.
