Romanian Revolution Talk 16th Feb at Southampton CC's venue

LECTURE: - Romanian Revolution 1994
Dr Paul Lowe is an award-winning photographer and educator, who has covered breaking news the world over, working in 82 countries over the last 25 years. Paul is the Course Director of the prestigious Masters Programme in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the London College of Communication, University of the Arts London. He is a consultant to the World Press Photo foundation in Amsterdam on online education of professional photojournalists in the majority world. His book, Bosnians, documenting 10 years of the war and post war situation in Bosnia, was published in April 2005 by Saqi books, and he has just published a new book. The Siege of Sarajevo. His PhD thesis explored the role of bearing witness and photography in the Balkan conflict. Paul will talk about various stories he has covered in his career, and about making the transition from working photographer to educator.

Paul will be running a photographic tuition week aboard Hummingbird, a round the world Clipper 60, whilst they cruise from Kiel to Rugen on the north German coast in mid-April this year. They will be visiting the UNESCO city of Lubeck amongst others. The skipper, Rachael Sprot, will be on hand to talk to any would-be sailors about the boat and the trip. Some SCC members had a great trip with them last year in the islands of Orkney.
