Marilyn, I seem to remember that you also got your flying colors from the RPS several moons ago.  We had the privilege of seeing your portfolio at the time and I hope that Chris will share his with us.

Are there other members of the PF Society that are also associated with the RPS. 

I keep thinking about sending a portfolio to RPS but I wonder if box-framed 4 feet by 8 feet pinhole paper negatives (Oriental Seagull DW Glossy) of the Montreal urban landscape can travel easily over the Atlantic for consideration by the Society. 

Regards all,

Guy

PS:  Oh!  BTW, Andy...
Did I see your name on the organization structure of the World Pinhole Photography Day this year? 
In any case, I loved the self-portrait you submitted on the occasion...!  You are truly a wise old-man!
Anybody else submitted a pinhole image?

Hi Guy,

Nope ... I was not on the organizing committee but did
"volunteer" to promote the event locally. I don't think
any of my PR initiatives worked however! It is a fun thing
to participate in as the event truly spans the world in terms
of contributions. Amazing if you ask me!

... watch how you say "OLD"!!  ;)

Considering that I am nearing two-thirds of a century myself, 
I always read "OLD" as meaning .. "tremendously young at heart"!!  -:)

You could just send a CD image of your pin hole works.  See www.rps.org

 

Michael

Good idea, Michael.

Thanks

I think it was in April 2009 but I was unable to attend because I was in hospital.
