I’m a bit behind with my blogging so this is a little late. (Sorry all!)

Last Wednesday saw the first get together of the UK [b] School contingent.  We met at the Broadlands Hotel near Barnsley in South Yorkshire. This was a midway point as we are all very widely spread throughout the UK.

For those photographers amongst my readers who haven’t come across the [b] school…. The [ b ] School is all about helping photographers connect with one another on line and in life. Perhaps the photographers in your area aren’t real keen on helping each other out, well… we are looking to change that with the [ b ] School by helping you connect with other like minded photographers, check it out.

It was great to meet:

Stewart Randall

Rebecca Honeywell

Peter and Laura Lawson

Susie Lawrence

James Pearson

Stuart James

Here we all are:

All of us have a common approach to sharing knowledge and advice with each other. So as you can imagine at our first meet up there was lots to talk about. Many of us having travelled a great distance, we made the most of it with a full 4 hours of non stop chatter about photography.

James, Rebecca and Peter and Laura brought some albums with them, from a variety of different suppliers so it was great to see not only each others work but also share feedback on the many different album suppliers, here’s a peek of the album viewing.

The album is a stunning Kiss Album

We also shared a number of great resources and other album providers: (Guys if I have missed any please let me know and I will add them in)

I am in the process of organising a UK [b] Scool trip to Blackpool for late September early October. We are intending on having some speakers and then going out to have some fun with our camera’s along the sea front and amongst the bright lights and fairground no doubt. If you would like to come and join us please get in touch. For those of you who are already members of the [b]school I will be posting details in the UK Forum, shortly.
