Magda and Bartek on Poland's National Independence Day, November
11. Fine Art Photography by Zbigniew Halat. Why Magda, Bartek, and

Woman = The Level of Civilization "To a great extent the level of any
civilization is the level of its womanhood. When a man loves a
woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more
noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice,
goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history
of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its
women." Fulton J. Sheen: Life Is Worth Living Ignatius Press, March 1,

and gained area of the country in 1945 showed a loss of one fifth of
Poland's territory in relation to the state before the aggression of
criminal powers.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC AFFECTING THE SHOW
Messages from The Photography Show & The Video Show Team:
March 9, 2020: "We are incredibly disappointed that we've had to
take this action so close to the event opening. However, it became
clear that the recent acceleration in Covid19 cases in the UK has led
to heightened concerns for all participants and the show would be
negatively impacted from all perspectives should we have proceeded. We
understand how important the show is both from an industry and
community point of view so we are pleased that we are able to postpone
to September when we are hopeful that the threat of Covid19 will have
significantly rescinded. Please bear with us while we make all the
necessary arrangements to facilitate this move and contact all
participants".
March 11, 2020: "We are pleased to announce that The Photography Show
and The Video Show 2020 will now take place 19-22 September 2020. We
want to thank everyone for their support and patience during this
unprecedented time - our aim is to ensure the UK photography and
filmmaking communities do not lose this event for a year. All existing
tickets will be transferred to the new dates".
