Hi, Reg here.

I have had an interest in photography from adolescence and always liked to take along one of those tiny single use cameras on holidays with friends; that I had to send away to get my prints.

The fourth print competition of the year was held on Thursday 28^th September at St James church Hall the home of the Nottingham Outlaws. The print competition started back in March 2023 and is run on a bi-monthly basis. Lois Webb currently holds the top position in the Outlaw print league table. 

The judge for this round of the competition was Alan Young who is a member of Rolls Royce (Derby) Photographic Society. Alan stated that he liked images that told a story, had balance and contained elements that added interest and enhanced the image. There were two categories for Alan to judge, the Open category and the Themed which in this instance was “Portraits (two generations or more)”. In total there were 20 entries in the open and 18 in the themed.

It is the time of year again when the Outlaws pack their camera bags, suitcases and embark on a journey to a location in the UK chosen by the membership. We have visited many areas, from Suffolk in the east to Bangor in the west (North Wales), Torbay in the south but this year it was the turn of the North so we all headed off to Northumberland.

The idea started whilst talking to Nina the owner of the Connect Cafe in Netherfield, she showed me an article in the Guardian about people painting their faces to avoid automatic camera face recognition and thought it would make an interesting photographic project.  We found it fascinating and decided to create a project where people paint their faces not to avoid recognition, but to help others understand what they want to express about themselves.
