the food line A side trip to learn a little bit more on how to more effectively assess my own images led to spending the better part of a sunny day on the weekend inside, where judging was taking place for the Professional Photographers Association of British Columbia (PPABC) 2010 Image Competition.

As I mentioned yesterday I am nearing the end of my posts dedicated to my African safari. I’m sure you’ve all had your fill over the past five weeks and you are ready to move on with me. I thought I’d wrap things up with a slideshow of my images some of which you will [...]
