Weekly update

Last night’s presentation entitled ‘Urban hymns” by Leigh Preston, FRPS FIPF MPAGB APAGB was a great lesson in ‘seeing’ – capturing the geometric shapes, the character and the shadows of industrial plants and buildings all round the UK, particularly those which are long past their prime. Combined with Leigh’s brand of cynical humour, it made for a very entertaining and instructive evening. Many thanks Leigh (pictured).
