Pixiq

We would like to take a moment to welcome our newest fine art photography expert and blogger from across the pond (London to be exact), the lovely and talented Miss Aniela. We think you'll agree that her impressive photographic style is inspirational, thought provoking, and beautiful. We are very happy to have her voice and experience here at Pixiq. You can view her work over at MissAniela.com and read her contributions to Pixiq, most recently her article on Printing your work for exhibition, at her page here. Welcome Miss Aniela!

In other Photo news, we would like to pass along a few deals and information on some photo shows that we have been tipped off about.

Telluride Photo Festival - September 26 - October 2, 2011. The festival celebrates outdoor, adventure, and landscape photographers and is filled with seminars, workshops and what looks like a really great time.
