P J Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I'm really looking forward to seeing the art and photography on display this year. Some of the exhibits last year were superb. I have even had one of my efforts accepted and it will be on display for a month in the Photography section. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 And you a blushing? why PJ? That's really good and well done you but no uploading it on here as you all need people to go. So we now have a spot the 'PJ photo' comp on. First one to report back on here saying what PJ's pic is of wins a prize. It says the photography exhibition is in the Pyramid & Parr Hall and it's free to enter but I couldn't see what time they are open. Any idea and is yours at the Pyramid or Parr Hall. Ooh I'm confused now, it doesn't take much to confuse me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could wear his oily overalls tied around his waist and hold one of his tyres Mmmm a free print though eh..... will you sign it too for when you become famous? On the off chance that I happen to be the runner up can I have a print of another of yours of my choice... actually make that 2 choices.... actually 3+ and counting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Aarrgh I never replied to your post about your print run PJ as I couldn't see your pics but then I could and got sidetracked. Bloody hell !! Anyway.. how did you go onat the opening night tonight and prize giving ? Fingers and toes were crossed for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Thanks Dizzy, My feeble effort didn't win, not surprising as there were some really good photos on display. It was a really good opening night though with hundreds of people there so very successful and very well organised. The exhibitions run right through October so everyone has the chance to go and see them. p.s. I had some prints made for you, they are being delivered on Tuesday.

Dizzy Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Aww PJ I was sure you would win. I'm going along this week sometime and really looking forward to it. I'm excited now and I wonder which prints you have done for me. Don't tell me, I love suprises. Let me know how much I owe you as you are NOT paying for them our of your own pocket x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
