Fitz – this is brilliant. Projects that are there as a mix between image and oral history-and commentary. I will think of it every time I pass by. Many thanks.
Thanks Gary, that means a lot, especially coming from a cantankerous notherner 😉
Andy Be well done!!!!!
Thank you, M 🙂 I’m still here… in the shadows 🙂
Huge congratulations to Andy, Judy, Fitz and Kinga – fab work.
Thank you Helen 😊
Many thanks, Helen!
Congratulations to all of you! It’s always so inspiring to see these kinds of success stories!
Thank you Helen and Elizabeth. Oh, and I also owe additional thanks to you, Elizabeth, since your work with origami really helped me through a terribly frustrating project created during BoW. Folding modular balls drove me borderline insane but, after finding your work, I got there in the end 🙂
Well done *indeed* to all of you! This is well-deserved recognition of your hard work and dedication. I hope you’re feeling as proud of yourselves as we are of you (and of all our other stellar Level 3 students).
Very kind of you, Jayne. Thanks a lot.
It is really inspiring to see that the quality of OCA L3 students’ work stand up so strongly in the wider photo / media world!
It’s very encouraging. Thank you, Allan.
