Sad to hear the demise of David Hockney, photographer as well as artist. Photocollage being one of his many talents.

Another event for your diary, this coming Sunday. Following the extensive communications from Gina Nell I understand only the official photographer is allowed to attend and photograph this event. This does sometimes happen with music events and so to evidently with horses. Seems a shame but they have their reasons.

So, as promised, the results of the Coleford Challenge. First place went to Huw Jones and Steve Young with 118 points, runners up Andy Whelan and Kim Mobbs with 107 points. These challenges are run at various times during the summer months and usually involve a visit to somewhere local, participants randomly put into pairs and then a set of topics to photograph. This one in Coleford on a very grey evening, and the topics were Wooden, Metallic, Stone, Brick, Glass or Plastic, and Alive. Here are the photos the winning team took.

This is interesting, many of these places will be familiar to you but this site also provides a bit of history and background which you might not be familiar with.
