Curt Littlecott and Society of XXV in Bali

For the past two weeks, Curt has been in Bali for the annual meeting of the Society of XXV. Each year, this elite group of some of the world's finest International photographers get together at a different location in the world. The goal of XXV is to raise the art of photography for the members to new standards through free exchange of ideas and techniques and to increase their business awareness accordingly. Below is the press release that went out regarding a photography exhibition that XXV and Curt were a part of last week in Bali. The first image is of Curt at work (taken by master photographer and good friend, Marcus Bell). The second image is the photo that Curt took and is hanging in the exhibition. It was one of the first prints sold on the opening night. The final image was taken opening night of the exhibition.

International photographic organization, Society of Twenty-Five, will open a photographic exhibition of iconic figures of Bali. The opening will be March 2, 2010 at 6:30pm at the KOMANEKA Fine Art Gallery un Ubud, Bali. The images will be on exhibit through March 12, 2010 and will then travel to other locations around the world.

The photographic artists will attend the opening night of the exhibit. Profits from the sale of the images will benefit the Komunitas Anak Alam, a community of Indonesian youth with various activities dedicated to educating and nurturing marginalized and disadvantaged children in Blandingan Village, a remote area in the hills around Batur Lake Caldera in Kintamani, Bali.
