There is a wonderful tribute about John Long who died this month on 21st January 2021.
We knew John over many years. He was always at any RPS event and Adjudication. We even have a photo of his sent to Sheila. She had judged Prints in the WCPF annual exhibition along with Leo Rich [slides]. John liked what Sheila had said about his image; so he sent her a copy.
This meeting is, as I explained, a Workshop at which we generally discuss more technical things, on this occasion, "Colour Management - How Colour is Managed in Digital Photography." Sometimes other members of the class present the topic but this time I am again in the hot seat. There was a time I could talk for two hours non-stop but I am finding I need a break nowadays. Anyway, it gives members time to do other things for 5-10 minutes - this will be around the 11.00am mark (midnight your time).

But importantly there is an extra issue 270a devoted to the memory of Ian Platt who was a good friend of ours and a wonderfully talented photographer. He collected every possible accolade and honour and distinction you can think and more.

A new photographic exhibition by local photographer David Walker has just opened at the Five Rivers Health & Wellbeing Centre. Showing street scenes and street art from London, Berlin and New York, the work is both fascinating and sometimes amusing, full of colour and imagination.
David Walker commented, “ I do hope that people come and see this exhibition, it shows a rich mixture of cultures. I have always been fascinated by how street art has now become the everyday background to people’s working and leisure lives particularly in major cities”
The exhibition is now on and runs through to September 29th
