Ok, so this is the end for 2011.
A whole month with 5 weekends in it, one of them a bank holiday, all dedicated to converse around Photography. The great exhibitions, the international guests, the great photobooks… So much learnt, so much to learn. And so many people to thank for their support! It has been a great experience for us all. Was it also for you?
