Presentation - Highway to Hell
The ACDC record - Highway to Hell is the inspiration for her presentation, given her interest in motorbikes and local Hells Angels. This presentation is to inspire others that ICM and multiple exposure can work in different ways including the different events she promotes, including fairgrounds & Zombies etc.
Ed: Just click HERE to see the inspiration for this talk and to take you back to your youth, or if you’re too young to have been around at the time, to see what the old fogies used to listen to - and don't forget to crank up the volume!
Please note: Owing to the sudden death of Lisa's father, she is no longer able to visit BPS next Wednesday, instead the talk will be Zoomed into the clubrooms.

The closing date for the Annual Print Competition is next week, Wednesday, 28 May. There is a box for your entries on the stage in Unit 13.
The competition will be judged this year by Gareth Martin AWPF, CPAGB from Bridgend.
You may submit up to 4 prints and can use images already used in the bi-monthly competitions. But do not use images which you have already submitted for this year’s Annual PDI competition or which have gained awards in previous Annual Print competitions.
If you want to put any of your prints in for the open Nature section, tick the appropriate box on the print label.
In addition to the usual awards at each level, the judge will select the Best Travel, People, Action, Landscape and Monochrome pictures from the whole entry (i.e. all levels).
Please number your entries in your preferred order, as some images may be culled if the total entry is excessive.
IMPORTANT: Don’t forget to upload digital copies of your prints if you have not done so already for previous competitions. These should be the same size as for the PDI competitions – 1600 x 1200 – but there will be no need to give any other information than your name and the actual title of each image. Do, please, give the actual image titles, not just the image codes. Here is the upload link: www.bristolphoto.org.uk/printsupload
We look forward to seeing your prints!

If you have any photographic items
for sale, drop me a line and I'll include them in the next newsletter.
