As every year toward the end of July, this year sees another gathering of professional photo veterans, young talent, enthusiastic amateurs and a whole lot of other interested folk descend on the tiny town of Novo mesto in Eastern Slovenia for Fotopub 2012, a week of shmoozing, snapping and savouring of fine photography.

Under the patient, inspired tutelage of Panos Pictures’ Chris de Bode in his capacity of creative director and with photographer Piotr Malecki attending as a photographic mentor, the experience promises to be enlightening and envigorating. Panos’ multimedia producer Anna Stevens will be holding a week-long course for interested parties and the work of George Georgiou will be on display throughout.
