Was so great to be back in the presenter seat today at St Neots U3A photography group - giving a short image presentation and then a talk on Macro photography tips and techniques.

And now I have a vehicle! Can travel, will talk! 🤣

Looking forward to future clubs and groups that may want a speaker. 🙏

Hi Everyone - A small announcement if I may have your attention briefly.

As many of you know I have been lucky enough to teach Workshops on Photography, OM-D and OM special techniques and features to many of you around the world over the last few years. I feel honoured and humbled by the support and words of kindness you have offered during this time and was particularly moved by the hundreds of Birthday wishes I received recently. Teaching is my passion in life and I am thankful for all the education that we have achieved together. Thank you all!

For reasons that are private and personal to myself, after the current listings I have on Eventbrite I will no longer, for the foreseeable future, be teaching these group workshops and webinars. I will continue to be a professional voice for OM System products, a moderator and active member in the finest Education Group ever created 😊 and teach on a, very limited availability, 121 basis privately. I can assure you that nothing sinister or untoward is the reason. The universe has a way of making changes for us all.
With that all in mind, these are the final workshops that I will deliver on Eventbrite. As always, I appreciate all attendees but remember that these are recorded for registered users and that recording is made available even without attending live. I look forward to seeing some of you on these last webinars 😊

This is a free to attend social on Zoom where you can be as involved or not as you like. A friendly group taking about photography and the meaning of life. Or just who didn't get their milk delivered on Tuesday 🤣

We share images but it's not mandatory and this months theme is Flight.

Register here.

A welcome all session to chat, talk photography and generally meet and greet others worldwide.
