BCA Photo: Member Image Sharing with Suzanne Revy

By |

The BCA Photo Group presents Member Image Sharing with the theme, “It’s Seen Better Days.” Suzanne Revy, photographer, editor and educator will provide constructive critique (suzannerevy.com). Suzanne is an Institute of Art and Design faculty member at New England College and Associate Editor for the online magazine, https://whatwillyouremember.com. “It’s Seen Better Days” is meant as per The Free Dictionary: Be worn out, have fallen into a state of decline, as in “This chair has seen better days”, or “The family business has seen better days”. This term was first used by Shakespeare to describe a decline of fortune (Timon of Athens, 4:2) but soon was broadened to describe aging or deterioration in both humans and objects. There is always the “Open” category for members who have non-topic images to showcase.
