highs and lows

Poppytalk by Jo Bradford

OOO

I have had a bittersweet week this week, as I got together with two different groups of my photography students to hang and open their end of year shows.

☼

I recently wrote a GCSE darkroom photography course, and this year I delivered it twice weekly to my first guinea pigs cohort - a group of 14 to 22 year olds at a local sixth form college.

☼

After a year of hard work and an extremely steep learning curve, working with manual film cameras and printing in a black and white darkroom, they have produced some outstanding work. I was so proud to see them gathered with their wonderful work last night and really really sad that I won't be seeing them weekly anymore... Although I know we will all stay in touch... I'm missing them already :(

☼

My more mature HND commercial photography group also had their opening night of their show last night, and I am proud to say that their work is diverse and of a high standard. It was lovely to see them all and admire their work on the walls of the gallery.

I am one proud mommie lecturer!!

FREE GIVEAWAY

Blue Beach Days by Jo Bradford

...
Here's your chance to WIN one of my giclee prints for free!!

...
I got lucky today, as I was one of the fortunate people to win a prize of a free print in the Kate Boyce giveaway. In return she asks that the winners of her prints "pay it forward". For those of you not familiar with this concept....

...
All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning any one of the 8"x8" prints in my shop is to have a look through my Etsy store and see which is your favourite print, then leave me a comment here telling me which one you would like to win and keep your fingers crossed for a result. I will draw a name out of a hat on the 1st May.


I will send the lucky Winner one of my prints and in return I would love it if you decide to continue to do the "pay it forward" thing and do something yourself to Pay It Forward to some other lucky folk out there in the big wide world, but that's totally up to you.
