Here is some news from Federation of European Professional Photographers - with Neil Warner and me speaking :)

What is sqm photo-dk

2009-04-30T22:32:00.002+02:00

An sqm photo-dk is the equivalient of a Fellow in BIPP, MPA, SWPP etc - and is the highst of 3 levels of qualifications

Quote:
photo-dk is bestowed on photographers in recognition of their outstanding and original creative and technical work within a chosen genre. The work is expected to be individual and be expressive of a genuinely personal style with a touch of originality in the approach to the genre chosen.

The presented panel must consist of at least 20 physical photographic works of art while the format may vary depending on the chosen genre and the desired expressive intent. It is essential that the panel presentation is of a high standard supporting the works.

photo-dk photographers are mastering photography at a very high level.

Internationally the title is the equivalent of e.g. Fellow granted by the Society of Wedding & Portrait Photographers, Master Photographers Association, Royal Photographic Society or FEP's Master QEP etc.

....

photo-dk photographers constitute the "backbone" of the qualification system and are expected to contribute as work horses in the judging of lower-ranking submissions and not least as mentors of aspiring photographers.

In their capacity of mentors, photo-dk photographers are expected to be capable of appreciating and understanding other photographers ways of imaging and working, thereby be capable of supporting other photographers in their endeavours to develop a proper personal style.

photo-dk photographers are expected to contribute to promoting the general development of photography through active participation in work for the Association.

photo-dk photographers are also expected to show a dedicated responsibility for the life-long professional development of other photographers.

Creativity is aboutr breaking the rules - breaking out. Maybe therefore the old prison is a good place to break ones old habbits and think new, to (re)find the joy of photograhy. We will challenge us selv and each other

Lot's of us made exciting new stuff - great!

I chose to make one of "boredom" - which many must have felt in the prisons days fo the place
