Thanks to my friend Deborah for this photo. Today was a big day. After months of preparation, discussions, printing, reprinting, mounting, remounting and a rather stressful day in Croydon I am now entitled to use the letters CPAGB (Credit Photographic Alliance of Great Britain) after my name.
It went 'right to the wire' but all five of us from the Richmond and Twickenham Photographic Society (RTPS) passed after submitting 10 images each, marked by 6 judges over the course of the day.
The journey home encompassed most of South London over 1.5 hours due to traffic problems and I'm feeling shattered now but very satisfied to gain the all important little blue badge!
