(Its cheaper than making and posting 40×50 cm matted prints!)

old and new - competition entry

As usual no acceptances, but came the closest I’ve ever managed with one entry – ‘old and new’. This was taken on a wet and dreary day in Whitehaven on the Cumbrian coast – I first spotted the two rather different greengrocers’ shops side by side, and then noticed both had the same name!
There’s more about my entry in my own blog Words by Mike Finley, with some follow up comments on the Cotswold Monochrome Salon itself.

devastation

I’ve said I’ll enter the Cotswold Monochrome salon this year, so the time has come to decide on four images to submit, as submissions close next week.

I’m not good at making decisions!

I’ll probably include ‘devastation‘ in the set (Iron Keld in the Lake District), one more recent image, and a couple of older ones. I’ve no idea what the judges are looking for (other than that it has just a few seconds to make an impact before they move onto the next image). I won’t be including anything that I submitted to the Lancashire and Cheshire Photographic Union, since they didn’t meet with much approval there!
