Hello Firstname
Wednesday 6 February
On Wednesday we have a visitor from foreign climes, Michael O'Sullivan FIPF FRPS, who will be travelling from Ireland to present a mixed print and projected image talk. Michael's images give an unusual slant on studio and portrait work as you can see by looking at his FRPS panel by following this link.
