Once again many thanks to Michael and to everyone who entered and those who supported the evening.
Next week we are back on Zoom for an audio video talk about Australia – ‘WANT’ by Tony Broom CPAGB.
In the meantime enjoy your week.
Very many thanks to Lynda for her exceptionally informative and entertaining talk.
Lynda’s enthusiasm for her photography is catching and her insights will be invaluable. Primarily a travel and street photographer she uses those skills in her ‘extraordinary, everyday photography’ – one doesn’t have to travel far and wide to find images close to hand if you ‘look with new eyes’ at familiar objects and local surroundings.
Thanks again to Lynda for a truly inspirational talk.
Next week we are ‘at home’ at Century for our Open and Set Subject (movement) print competitions which will be judged by Michael Lurie.
In the meantime have a good week and enjoy the sunshine.
A very special one-off evening of poetry and photographs curated by Peter Keeble who is both poet and photographer. Peter invited his group of renowned poets to submit poems to which we photographers produced our interpretation in photographs; in turn, the photographers submitted photos for the poets to interpret in poems. We shared the ‘results’ in an entertaining, convivial and enjoyable evening. Creativity at its best!
Very many thanks to everyone and special thanks to Peter Keeble for organising us all.
Next week we are on Zoom for a talk by Lynda Golightly LRPS – ‘Extraordinary Everyday Photography’.
In the meantime have a good week.
