Frames of Mind 08

As FoM 07 set the bar higher for FoM 08, we decided to add more FoM this year. What’s new? FoM this year invites everyone who’s interested to join in, not just members. Why should appreciating and exhibiting best photographs have any restrictions!? Along with showcasing the best in the general category of photographs, there’s also going to be a photo-documentary contest. Each participant can submit upto 2 photo documentaries and two winners will be selected by a Jury. Please visit the forum link to keep up with what’s happening on this…
