18th November: Odd Things, Part Two by Diane Seddon ARPS CPAGB BPE3

Very many thanks to Diane for her engrossing, entertaining and informative talk about “how photographers have fooled viewers over the years” using examples of  photographers from the nineteenth century through to today’s contemporary exponents.

Diane gave us an evening of thought provoking and inspiring facts and images.  She reminded us that it is the photographer, not the camera, that makes the photograph.

Thanks again Diane for a thoroughly enjoyable  evening.

In the meantime stay warm!

11th November: Members’ Evening led by Mark Buckley-Sharp

A very pleasant evening sharing ideas, thoughts and images that would make good  personalised greetings and post cards.  A variety of images from beautiful landscapes to unbound imagination and creativity.  Such a change from ‘critical’ analyses of work in this relaxed environment where exchange of views and ideas were both useful and informative.

Many thanks to Mark and to everyone who contributed to the evening.

Next week we are back on Zoom for a talk by Diane Seddon ARPS CPAGB BPE3 –  Odd Things, Part Two II

In the meantime have a very good week.
