At Last - a Newsletter!

It's been a long time coming but finally I have produced another newsletter; the first since July and the 3rd for 2011. Apologies if you've been holding your breath waiting for it!

It outlines next years shows, the 2012 courses (new locations of Northumberland and Glen Coe as well as the old favourites of the Peaks, Lakes and Yorkshire Dales), new pictures, a few seasonal photo tips, news of past and future photo trips, and lots of other items.

Hope it was worth the wait. One of these days I will get organised and set a routine that lets me do one a month, as I originally thought I would, but for now just consider them as limited editions!

Here is the link again.

Christmas Contemporary Crafts and Design Fair at RHS Wisley

We are doing a 5 day Contemporary Crafts and Design Fair at RHS Wisley with Craft in Focus.

It started on Thursday 24th and runs until Monday 28th November. It's open 9am to 5pm for the next 3 days. Our stand is near the entrance to the show, stand 10. Jan is doing it on her own this time to save wear and tear on my bad back. It's been a good one so far. Pictures, books and posters are all selling well. It seems to be a busy show for all too, with 130 of the highest quality exhibitors for visitors to get round.

Our stand is a similar size to the one we had in Glasgow except that 2 sides are open. This usually works best for us these days. Lots of pictures, maybe 300-odd, on display. This includes several at 1m x 0.5m. So if you have a large space that needs filling with a picture this may be the place to find something, especially as prices for pictures start at just £5 for some of the 0.5 x 0.5m prints!

Jan looks forward to seeing you there!


New Images - Frankfurt

There are 4 new images of Frankfurt on the web, all taken at night. Lots more to come but no time to sort and scan them yet. Maybe soon.
