Volume 221 Issue 4, 26 August 2016
The 'BDJ' series: Blossom
A chance conversation at the British Dental Journal stand at an international meeting led to the idea of using the letters 'B','D' and 'J' in different formats for the Journal covers. Each cover would feature the letters in a different media or setting. The idea gained momentum and in December 2015 the first pictures were taken. There were so many ideas for different pictures and these had to be narrowed down to a final 12, one for each cover in volume 221.
Damien Walmsley, our cover series photographer, on the photograph which features on this issue: 'I was travelling on the bus to our new dental school in Birmingham when by chance my daily commute took me past Calthorpe Park. There I happened to see a beautiful carpet of pink blossom on the ground next to the main road. Unfortunately, I had to stay on the bus and could not return until late afternoon, after my student teaching clinic. So later that day, I arrived at the park and quickly made the letters 'B' 'D' 'J' in the blossom for the picture. I am not sure what the Birmingham rush hour traffic made of my photographic antics that evening!'
