News: The London Festival of Photography June 2012
In June 2012, London's most celebrated venues (Museum of London, British Library, British Museum, Tate Modern, the V&A and more...) will play host to a world-class, city-wide celebration of photography as the London Festival of Photography returns for its second year.
Expanding to encompass street, documentary and conceptual photography, the festival will include 18 exhibitions and 40 satellite events including workshops, talks and screenings.
Exhibitions will vary in style and format, presenting a comprehensive mixture of disciplines with work from both established and emerging photographers. Content will be curated around the theme, Inside Out: Reflections on the Public and the Private.
The festival opens to the public on 1 June 2012.
John Clarke said, “I visited last year when it was solely street photography, and there were excellent exhibitions scattered over a wide area. This year it seems to have a wider remit with documentary, which is good, and "conceptual" which is an acquired taste in many cases. However it's certainly worth at least a day trip to grab some of the best shows”.

Internationals News: THE SOLWAY SALON AND 150TH EDINBURGH
Print workers of Durham PS! - now is the time to step up to the plate and enter the Solway Salon and the 150th Edinburgh International.
Yes, these 2 Salons are dedicated to prints...pdi's are not allowed...so why not have a go at testing yourself against other print workers across the world by entering one or both of these Salons.
The Solway Salon closes on 19th May so don't delay...details and rules are at www.westcumbriaphotogroup.co.uk
The 150th Edinburgh International is, along with the RPS Print International and The London Salon, one of the oldest and most prestigious print salons in the world...and this year it celebrates it's 150th anniversary. Special medals have been struck to celebrate this anniversary so if you do get an acceptance in here, go straight to the top of the class: you will have done amazingly well as only 200 prints are selected. Plus you would get a special 150th acceptance medal - how cool is that! Also note that all accepted photographs will be on display during the Edinburgh Fringe at the Edinburgh Photographic Centre so your image would be seen by thousands of people.
Don't delay, give it a go. More information, details and rules are at www.edinburghphotographicsociety.co.uk
Good luck!

Once again, Durham Photographic Society will put on an annual exhibition of members’ latest work in the glorious setting of the Galilee Chapel, Durham Cathedral. Huge numbers of visitors from all over the world will be able to see and enjoy the pictures.
Some additional display space has been obtained so there is still time to put your name down. Two prints per member. The last call will be next week, 10th May. Prints have to be in by 24th May. Print mount sizes can be 50x40 cm or 20x16 inch. The picture size within that can be members’ choice. Make sure presentation is immaculate.
The organising team of Colin, Don, John A and Dennis are already at work on the planning side. Members can help out with setting up on the 1st June, always an enjoyable experience. The opening event will be later that day with special guest, and old friend of the club, Malcolm Kus
