Don’t be shy
Stone Lantern and Bonsai Bark are delighted to announce that we one of the sponsors of The Art of Bonsai Project’s annual photo contest. The contest provides an excellent opportunity for you to delve into preparing and photographing your bonsai. Two practices that will open your eyes in ways that may surprise you. Really, don’t be shy and don’t think your trees have to be world class to enter. The folks at AoB will be happy to provide useful (and friendly) feedback, no matter your level of accomplishment.
This Japanese maple by Walter Pall won first place overall in our 2006 photo contest. It appears on the cover of Bonsai Today issue 106. The rest of the winners (16 in all) appear inside issue 106.
Glad you guys are involved Wayne! Each year has been better than the last, and I for one am looking forward to seeing all of the entries this year!
