Photographers in RI, unite

BANDUNG: Indonesian photographers of all backgrounds and
professions are expected to meet here later this month for a
first ever gathering.

The organizers of the Indonesian Photographers Gathering 1994
say Minister of Information Harmoko has agreed to act as patron
of the event scheduled for Oct. 29-30 and his office will also
lend photographs from its own archives to the accompanying
exhibition.

Harmoko, according to the organizers, also hoped the gathering
would become a forum in coming years where international
photographers could take part also.

The forum is open to professional and amateur photographers of
all ages, including press photographers, the organizers said.

The seminar will present noted speakers in the profession such
as Darwis Triadi, Kayus Mulia, Back Tohir, Kartono Riyadi and Leo
Nardi. There will also be a workshop on the art of photography
presented by experts. (emb)
