The Library Mind Space wants to buy your photo!!

The Newtown campus library is creating a new "Mind Space" area with computers and assistance for students working on multimedia projects.  They are looking for a large digital photo to fill some of their wall space.  We are seeking digital entries from photo students.  The winning piece will be printed on the Epson 9880 printer and purchased by the college (yes, you will be paid!!) The deadline for entries is May 1.  More information will be posted soon in the Hicks digital lab and darkroom space - in the meantime start shooting.

Congratulations Jim DiPaolo

Jim was hired to photograph the new First Federal Bank of Bucks County inside and out.  Jim's photos are on the cover and an inside spread of "Outlook" magazine.  You can see the spreads at the Lower Bucks Chamber of Commerce Website. When you see Jim, congratulate him on the publication of his work.
