MAY'S OPEN THEME WINNER

THE WORLD IN HASTINGS PHOTO CHALLENGE
This month’s challenge is ‘The World In Hastings’ and is a celebration of all things international found in and around a traditional seaside resort.
Black and White Exhibition Preview
Hastings creative framers Imagen have invited four local photographers to showcase their work in a forthcoming exhibition to be held at The Imagen Gallery. Entitled simply "Black and White"
There will be work on show from Lin Gregory LRPS, Ian Land, Richard Fisher and Patrick O‘Farrell ARPS. The exhibition runs from Saturday 7th until Saturday 21st June inclusive with a private view on Friday 6th at 6.30pm.
The black and white work being shown will include a range of genres, from theabstract to the more traditional landscapes of the 1066 area and beyond. The variety of subject material produced by the photographers reflects the diversity of the area that we live in, capturing an alternative viewpoint of many local landmarks as well as those further afield.
Prints at the exhibition will be offered for sale with further copies available on request.

Lin Gregory
My interest in documentary photography led me in the early 1980’s to the purchase of my first film SLR camera and from there my passion for photography grew. I studied City and Guilds photography in the early ‘90s and gained the Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society. I continued to work with film, printing my own black and white images, then, in 2005, the improvements in digital cameras finally persuaded me to switch. Since then I haven’t looked back and found that the potential within the new technology has introduced me to a whole new digital darkroom experience.

A local born amateur. Photography is a recreation for me, and if my work reflects my fondness for my home town and it's suroundings, I'm glad.
