Caution! Wigan 10 rant
I thought the Wigan 10 slides were particularly dire this time. I remember when the society first got the folios and I saw the Wigan 10 work for the first time, I was impressed. Impressed at the print quality, the sharpness, the colours, the compositions. Impressed enough to think I could aim for that level of competence.
What impressed me about this collection from the Wigan 10 was the fact that they appear to be entirely oblivious to the fact that they are producing crosscut shredder material. It was awful, far below the quality of other work from the folio. I know the Wigan elite like to set the trends and push other clubs to copy their style but I sincerely hope this shoddy digital work does not take a foothold in club photography.
It seems to me that their contributions lacked any coherence, any underlying idea which connects their work, as it has in the past.
OK why am I going on about them so much? Well we are told that these are the creme of the club circuit, but after the assault they put on my eyes I dispute that.
I also know that our own society does not have a strong entry into the L&CPU competitions and as such we do not find our own members work getting the wider circulation it deserves, so come on lets get our stronger membership to put a slide entry together. I know we can surpass the work we have seen in the slide folio, so lets enter some and get our work mercilessly slagged off on some forum somewhere
