The Leading Line February Edition

February 2024 The Leading Line Newsletter

Welcome to this edition brought to you from Model Town, Delhi, India 🇮🇳.

I’ll be sure to inundate you with some of my images of this amazing trip in the next edition and in competitions as well.

I’ve also added a photography crossword for your enjoyment along with items from our regular contributors. I highly recommend the article titled: Do you have GAS?

I would also like to draw your attention to a lovely reflection on life from our very own Phil Whiteman titled, The Accidental Photographer.

Enjoy 🙂
