A Family Affair
As
Andy was not able to attend Club last Tuesday, I thought I would do the blog
for him.
As
the title suggests, my brother-in-law Steve Yates, who is a reputable judge and
speaker in the South of England, was kind enough to offer to show his landscape
photography to us.
The
only cost was two nights B&B at our house with a sumptuous lamb dinner
thrown in!
Steve
was first introduced to ‘proper’ photography nearly 40 years ago when Dick
showed him his darkroom prints. Steve was hooked and from then on every time we
met up in Crawley or he came to us, various photography outings were arranged.
The
prints Steve showed on Tuesday were therefore a combination of Essex scenes
that we all recognised as Upminster members together with Sussex images that
were new to us but inspirational in their content. There were also additional
images from around the UK and abroad.
Steve
and my sister Marian walk miles every weekend to access areas of countryside
that are well presented in his images. It’s Steve’s timing of the light and his
patience waiting for the sun to appear or the mist to clear that gives a
certain quality to his photography.
He
enjoyed the evening and meeting up with old friends. I hope you enjoy again some
of his images shown below.
