Barry makes an exhibition of himself ...

As strange as it may seem to folks back in Blighty, Barry's photographs of our waterway journeys have been popular here in Gisborne.  He's given three verbal and slide show presentations of our journeys to the Camera Club and two Rotary Clubs, been invited to speak at the Country Women's Institute (but unfortunately wasn't available on the day they requested) and has another invitation for a group called U2A - the University of the second age we think.

Barry has also just distributed flyers for three, two-day, photography workshops in September/October, November and February next year, which we'll hold at our house - so fingers crossed that he gets some interest.  He has a very high profile here in Gisborne as a photographer, so I'm sure many people will snap up his offer!

Additionally, as previously mentioned, Barry was involved in a three-day exhibition of some of his work at the end of July/beginning of August, next door to the studio that he previously owned, D & K Photography.

Below are some shots of the exhibition, and the prints that he has for sale and that sold, all helping on our journey back to the waterways in 2013  ...

 The waterfall in the picture is in New Zealand - his talent extends to more than just UK waterways shots!

 Some awesome photos 

 On the left of the picture is the D & K images - Barry's are on the right

 Barry should maybe get some commission from the British Tourist Board?!
