Launch of "Portugal Through My Eyes"

Yes folks, it is all now organised.
My first book "Portugal Through My Eyes. Black and white photographs by Mel Sewell" will be taking its big bow when CPF (that is Centro Portugues Fotografia: www.cpf.pt) launches from its premises in Porto on Saturday 26th June. There will be snacks and Port wine and you can also look at the other exhibitions in their beautiful building.
If you would like to come along please e-me: mel_sewell@yahoo.co.uk
There will also be a series of other events including a launch in the UK (tba) and several mini-launches, the first of which will be at Divine Wines, Wincanton, Somerset, UK on 26th June. Please e-me if you would like to attend this too.
I'll keep you updated about these other events.
Keep watching this space and I'll load some of the images from the book which is 160 pages, hardcover, 13x11 inches landscape, with all plates in black and white.
A percentage of the take will be donated to Quercus, the Portuguese environment agency. (http://www.quercus.pt/)
The book will also be available to purchase on-line at www.blurb.com but it isn't 'live' yet. I'll update this site as to the availability.

HOT NEWS

YES FOLKS, HOT OFF THE PRESS!!
I have been beavering away for the past couple of months on the design, layout and production of my first book, which I'm hoping will be ready in the next three weeks. It will be 11 inches high by 13 inches wide and have 160 pages. It will be a hard cover, with dust cover and contain around 60 black and white images. Title: 'Portugal through my eyes. Black and white photographs by Mel Sewell.' And yes, all the images will be of Portugal, taken during my 13 year stay there. Signed and numbered. Price will be about £105 plus postage. I'll keep you informed.
Also the tiny hamlet in which I reside is going to have a new gallery, which will open on December 3rd and I have been invited to exhibit a few pieces for the launch and after. Watch this space.
