Next Wednesday is the annual presentation of the Bristol International Salon of Photography. This year the Salon attracted nearly 6,000 entries in six sections with approximately 25% of these being accepted. Andrew Marker, with help from Rachel Domleo, has put together a selection of the accepted images along with suitable accompanying music, to provide a professional audio-visual presentation of what are some of the best images in the world.
BPS members did particularly well this year, so expect to see some images that you may well recognise.

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). |
