Why not take a look at the latest information about NOPS club members by hitting this link meet the outlaws

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.

August sees the Outlaws enter into their fourth Projected Digital Image (PDI) competition of the year and things are starting to warm up as Lester Woodward is being challenged for top spot by Malcolm Nabarro, Lois Webb and Ray Andrews. The evenings judge was Vin Scothern, a national competition judge who the Outlaws had met on previous occasions and noted that he commented on detail, fundamentals, separation, action and offered constructive critique.

This was the third print competition of the year and Lois Webb currently holds the top position in the Outlaw league table. The evenings judge was David Kissman
