Gallery: April 2012

At this month’s meeting we went back to early photography and spent the evening having fun making pinhole cameras. Check out our info page for a couple of useful links. It seemed appropriate therefore, that the theme for April should be called ‘Back to Basics’.

So in response to the theme, my Image of the Month was an easy decision, not only on seeing this photograph which stirred up many memories for me, but also on reading the photographer’s words which accompanied it.
