PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY: Chris Palmer FRPS, EFIAP, DPAGB, APAGB, a busy judge and popular lecturer, visited Hailsham Photographic Society and members knew from the letters after his name that he is a most accomplished photographer and were certainly not disappointed with an evening of amazing photography, description and jokes. His lecture was titled A Personal Response. Chris explained that we all see the world in different ways and each photo was your own interpretation. During the first half Chris showed photos taken in Iceland, Yellowstone USA, Abstracts of graffiti along a canal, Dungeness and Tuscany. After the break he showed photos taken over 8 or 9 years in very cold temperatures which were abstracts of iced puddles, shapes and forms, often macro pictures. He also showed and explained his Fellowship panel which consists of 20 pictures. The theme of this amazing panel was San Michele, a Venice cemetery. The island of Isola San Michele was selected to be an island for the dead as Napoleon decreed that burials within the city of Venice were unsanitary. This panel portrayed some of the Italianate sculptural beauty, sadness and grief, atmosphere and mood. Colin Monk when thanking Chris said that members shared the joy, feeling and emotion of looking into a picture.
