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.
Very many thanks to Mark for leading us through last night’s workshop. Using external exhibition images in a interactive way, Mark led us through ways to improve our critical powers for our own photography. Objective questions such that a judge may employ – is the image ‘ok, good or brilliant?’ Was there a plan, was it executed and were technical issues dealt with. So easy to say and so hard to do when we have emotional connections with our own photographs but at least now we are armed with the above criteria!
Thanks again Mark for a very enjoyable and informative evening.
Next week we are at Century for our very special evening of poetry and pictures event.
In the meantime enjoy the sunshine and hopefully some warmer weather.
Many thanks to Martin for judging last night. As ever his commentaries were informative, discerning, erudite and entertaining.
