PSA: Projected Image Division Monochrome Award of Merit – Star 1

Today I received notification that my application for Projected Image Division Monochrome Award of Merit – Star 1 had been accepted by the PSA.

For this award of merit I had to have received at least 18 acceptances from at least 6 images. From my list of submitted salon acceptances 44 were verified by the PSA.

Images for the Merit Award

Comment on the award

In the returned spreadsheet I was surprised that I had had an acceptance rejected because the exhibition results were not in the PSA database. Sadly this was a different image than the ones above.

Please see my separate post about applying for PSA Merit Awards. (Not available yet)

Dedication

I would like to dedicate this (and all my subsequent PSA awards) to my departed friend and colleague from Bracknell Camera Club – Ron Gaffney LRPS CPAGB PSA(*4) BPE2. From the very first weeks of joining the club, Ron encouraged my photography of aircraft. In that first year I attended a club workshop where he laid out how to enter international salons and the importance of record keeping. Over the years, I joined him entering international salons and we shared our successes as well as mutual encouragement.

Ron would have been one of the first people that I would have told about this award and sadly his encouragement and support has now to be only a memory.
