Hello Firstname

Wednesday 19 February

Next Wednesday we have a visitor from foreign parts when Des Clinton MFIAP FIPF FRPS Hon FRPS who will be presenting his talk "The Best of Irish"

Des comes from Drogheda (Ireland) and has been involved in photography at local, national and International level for more than 30 years. He is essentially a documentary photographer and has won many awards and distinctions for his individual images and panels of pictures. His subjects range through horse fairs, which gained him a fellowship of the RPS, people in their environment, probably his favourite subject, to moody landscapes of his native Ireland. Des is recognised as an expert darkroom printer and both his fellowships [RPS and Irish Federation] were achieved with monochrome panels. Today he works mainly in colour, documenting Irish life and the countries he visits.

This is a somewhat limited edition this week as I am otherwise occupied with the Salon today and for the next 5 days. Hopefully time will permit a full edition next week.

If you want to blow your own trumpet (or someone else's), then this is the place to do it. Please let me know and I'll include details in a future issue.
