Hi Barbara & all,
Considering there are currently about 625 members in the OM group, the
nearly 90 self-portraits isn't all that many. Some whose photos are there
have moved on to other fields.
The topic we are shooting for at the moment is Architecture.
These shows are quite a little challenge, and DO give a real sense of
purpose to going out with your chosen camera to make images. And there is
a small sense of competition too. Nothing major, and all good fun.
Brian
