Best Photography in New England
For those interested in Shiv’s workshop, details for the the upcoming 2012 photo workshops to Florida and the Smoky Mountains are in the linked documents. “You will have a blast with great photography, camaraderie and an opportunity to explore and learn” he says.
Also visit Shiv’s Web site or contact him at s.verma@me.com if you have any questions.
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.
One of our sponsors, O’Reilley Media has renewed the discount code for our members. If you are a dues paying member you can login to your account and see the discount codes. Although some titles are dated, there are excellent books in their photography collection and I could not resist the temptation and added 4 more books to my collection. I have several of the RockyNook titles and can attest to their quality. A recent one I purchased (albeit without the discount code, dumb!) The Art of Photography by Bruce Barnbaum is a very good resource for all photographers. It is beautifully printed and the content is very robust. It is my current reading. I have just purchased Bruce Barnbaum’s other book and several e-books.
You see, the discounts are 40% and 50% for print and e-books respectively; how could I resist?

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.

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.
