In August, member Paul Brewerton gave a presentation on ‘A photographic journey: How the love of the countryside influenced my photography’. Like many others, Paul’s introduction to photography was via the ubiquitous Kodak Box Brownie camera, and he showed a selection of prints taken from his early film cameras and enlargers to later images on digital cameras. His interest is primarily in landscape photography and, as an enthusiastic fell-walker, Paul showed many intriguing and unusual images taken from the more inaccessible parts of the Yorkshire Dales and Cumberland coast. He concluded with some photographs and stories of his various excursions to Switzerland and elsewhere. This was an interesting and wide-ranging presentation, much appreciated by his audience.

There are a number of forthcoming activities by the Society. On 2 September, member Mick Brittain will give a presentation: ‘Art school to the Photographic Society: In search of a personal style’; then, on 16 September, member Simon Lutter will lead a Workshop on Studio Photography, to be followed on 7 October by a presentation by members Richard Broadbent and Philip Le Mare entitled: ‘New Zealand: A tale of two islands’. All three events are at 7.30pm in the Cartwright Hotel, Aynho.

This year’s major event is the Society’s 9^th Annual Exhibition of members’ work – first on 26 September, at The Institute, Adderbury from 10.00am – 4.00pm, and on 24th October, in The Living Room, Deddington Parish Church of SS Peter & Paul, 9.30am – 12.30pm.

Finally, the Society has been invited to mount a display of photographs in the Meeting Room of the Adderbury Library, which is available now for all to see. Everyone is welcome to any of the above activities, just come along – you can be assured of a warm welcome.
