I visited a photography exhibition at the National Justice Museum, Nottingham today, to see one of my images that was part of the exhibition.
The museum had a worldwide competition earlier this year, you had to submit a black and white image and an associated narrative that was your interpretation of "Freedom"
I submitted one of my strangers images, No. 297, Sasha and Sophie, two transgender women sharing a kiss at speakers corner in Nottingham.
Here I am in front of my image. While at the museum, I met the curator of the exhibition, Sarah, a really nice lady and we had a long chat about the entries, the room , the photos, the subjects, in fact all things related to the competition. Sarah took this photo for me.
The museum are also running a people's choice competition, visitors to the exhibition can vote for their favourite . There's also an online gallery where anyone can vote for their favourite. If you would like to see all the images at the exhibition, you can vote for your fave by following the link below
You have to be a flickr user to vote, so if you are on flicker, vote for the best black and white image, or if you don't want to vote just have a peek at the fabulous images
@casablanca lol Casa', thank you , all images submitted were displayed in print or digital format , it was really cool though to see my image in the gallery :) , there is a get together in the gallery next year for all authors :)
@corinnec thanks Corinne :) that's really kind of you to say :)
Very well done, Phil! Great choice of image to interpret the subject. Best of luck with the competition.
Will Sarah feature in your Strangers project by any chance? ;-)
Oh, brilliant, and what a wonderful photo. Although I didn't see it at the time you posted it on 365, I was able to zoom in for a good look! You must be well chuffed. I looked at the Flickr link too - some beautiful images, including your own one. :-)
@dulciknit Thanks Alison , I did suggest to Sarah she would make a great stranger photo , but she said she didn't like having her photo took , I think I may have been a bit too quick asking, rather than biding my time to ask :)
@maggiemae Maggie, no I didn't ask them to kiss, they just did it as I was chatting to them , so I clicked the shutter at the right moment :)
