The 7th of July - One photographer's words
Immediately after the bombings of the 7th of July the Association received a request from the editor of NEWS PHOTOGRAPHER magazine - the house journal of the National Press Photographers' Association in the USA. Donlad Winslow wanted someone from the BPPA to write a first hand report of the day from a press photographer's perspective so that our American colleagues could undertsand a little more of what had happened.

We recognize the need for worldwide imaging quality and delivery standards that will facilitate reliable and repeatable image reproduction.
