“It’s That man Again” with Leigh Preston

Thursday 23rd November: We will be entertained by our friend Leigh Preston.

“It’s That Man Again”

URBAN HYMNS & ABSTRACTS.
It’s departure time, time to make pictures in a different context.  These are some of my Urban Pages.
Tighter, Graphic Observations – A personal attempt at discovery and portrayal of the often brutal and imposing man-made environment.
All scale, balance, line and symmetry ,  a naive  & simplistic photographic geometry. These are lean, rigid and constructed images, mostly devoid of emotion & the heavy atmospherics that normally inhabit my pictures.

Starts at 8pm   and on the new stream system
