About Bangalore Photography Club (BPC)
BPC started off in late 2004 with four people who met on a Yahoo group. By 2005, considering the enthusiasm in the group growing in number, it was envisioned that BPC could go long way in the field of photography. Group projects such as shoot-trips to nearby locations helped bring the members together as a team, rather than just online peers. Today, BPC is an association of more 800 members. This is an open forum where anyone could come up with ideas aligned with the vision of the club or to promote the club itself. ‘Frames of Mind’ is the annual photography exhibition which all members look forward to every year.

Exhibition cum sale of bronze and copper flowers from 09th Augto 18th Aug ’08
Gudi present flowers that never fade. Made from bronze and copper sheets, they look lifelike, and compete with live flowers in beauty. Among the varieties on display are hibiscuses and lotuses. Some are life-sized, others four to five times larger. They promise to bring your home and office alive with their charm.
Gudi connects India’s artists and art lovers. It has now taken a step forward and is creating its own line of art objects. Ekbal Ahmed, well-known artist and theatre director, has designed these flowers and helped farmers and village artisans from Shikaripura (central Karnataka) execute them. The economic status of farmers will improve if they can use their free time to create art and household objects. Gudi seeks encouragement from all art lovers for this endeavour.
Dr U R Ananthamurthy, Jnanpith Award-winning writer, inaugurates an exhibition and sale of metal flowers and art objects on August 9 at Gudi.
