Assignment - 'A Sense of Place'
This assignment left it up to the photographer to interpret what he or she felt was meant by 'A sense of place'.
Probably somewhere that had a special meaning or invoked fond memories for the individual.

Assignment - Keep It Simple
A simple title but not the easiest of assignments to decide quite what might fit the criteria. Should it be minimalist? Should it be B&W so that the colours did not distract from its simplicity? Should it be a small subject with lots of 'negative space?'
These are a few images that members came up with for their interpretations of the assignment.
