Double at the London Salon
– It is unusual for a photographer to have both her photograph and a photograph which includes her accepted in a major photographic salon.
However this is exactly what has happened to Angela Ford ARPS. Her image ‘Family Gathering’ has been accepted for exhibition by the London Salon of Photography. At the same time, her husband Roger Ford FRPS has had his image ‘Five Alive’ awarded a London Salon Medal. This image is also a family gathering, featuring their son William and Angela’s hand.
The opening exhibition of the London Salon is at Fairfield Halls, Park Lane, Croydon, Surrey CR9 1DGC between 10 – 21 June. Further details can be found on www.londonsalon.org. Many congratulations to Angela and Roger.
