Best Photography in New England
Got the winter blahs? Cure them by spending the Saturday, February 11, at GLPA taking advantage of the photo opportunities (AKA Photo Ops) available to you. There will be still-life setups—regular and black light, Shiv Verma’s polarized light setup, and glassware. For models, there will be two long-haired chihuahuas who love to pose. There will also be a couple of children at various times during the day.

I have just learned that another PSRI member, Syed Rizvi also placed in top 250 in 2011 “Share the View” International Nature Photography juried competition. Congratulations Syed.
You can see his entry on the contest page in context, alphabetically sorted.
I have the pleasure of announcing another member achievement. One of Steve Tierney’s photographs, Cedar Waxwings, was placed among the top 250 in 2011 “Share the View” International Nature Photography juried competition. By the admission of the announcement Steve received, “the competition was fierce and placing in the top 250 is quite an achievement.” Congratulations Steve. Although you can see the photograph here, you may want to see it in context on the competition site. The photographs are listed alphabetically by photographers’ last name.
As the followers of this site probably know, I had submitted my publication “The Hagia Sophia Experience” to a contest run by MagCloud on facebook. I thank all the supporters for their votes and dedication to visit the competition site every day to cast another vote. The results are in and The Hagia Sophia Experience is a runner up. I had heard from MagCloud about the competition results but wanted to wait until they announced the results on their site.
My sincere appreciation for all the support I have received and my congratulations to the winners of the contest.
PS MagCloud is running a sale on all full-priced publications through February 14, 2012.
Plymouth Center for the Arts invites entries to “The Fine Art of Photography, 2nd Annual Juried Photography Exhibition.” The submissions will be accepted between February 1-29, 2012 and the winners will be announced on March 16, 2012.

Opening reception on April 1, 2012.

Steve Tierney sent me an e-mail about the programs at the Griffin Museum of Photography. There are several interesting exhibits, presentations that will provide good opportunities to see photographic art in these cold winter days. Spanning several locations, the museum presents a rich collection of photographic art. For a detailed program visit their site and start marking your calendars. Looking ahead, there are more exhibits to come. I wonder if a field trip may be a good idea?
Thanks for the tip Steve.
I mistakenly marked the January 10 meeting as the login night after the last BoD meeting. After checking with Dennis, it has been corrected (thanks Dennis) as the January 17 meeting being the login night. I apologize if I caused any confusion. The calendar shows the correct login night.
Our president Christina Richardson has received a significant recognition from Kodak. Her image (on the left) recently received recognition by Kodak and will be part of an exhibit taking place on Kodak’s outdoor video display in Time Square New York! The exhibit runs from around Christmas to mid-January! She says “I can’t believe my name is actually going to be displayed in Time Square! Thank you for the nomination Printmakers!”. We say, Congratulations Christina, well deserved!!
