[QueensPhoto] Meeting & lecture by professional landscape photographer Nick Cobbing

[O.J. Beardon]

Dear All, 

I think it's time we had a meeting to discuss the important things I sent 
out during the holidays, especially who is going to run the society this 
year. We also have a good amount of money to spend and an exhibition to 
organise. And who knows, someone may even have taken some photos!

Could I suggest the evening of tuesday the 22nd? It is espcially important 
that as many of you as possible can come so let me know if it's majorly 
inconvenient. I will try booking a room and keep you posted about where 
when I have.

You may also be interested to go to this talk/slide show, I think it will 
be stunning. Unfortunately I am double booked so may not make it.

> Monday evenings for talks by artists and academics on the subject

> For the first session of this term we are delighted to be welcoming  
> Nick Cobbing. Nick's work "focuses on the landscape, people's  
> relationship to it and to each other" with a particular recent  
> concentration on the Arctic. He has just returned from the recent  
> Cape Farewell expedition to Greenland (www.capefarewell.com), one  
> of his photos from which was chosen by TIME magazine in their  
> Pictures of the Year 2007. His work "Surface Tension" - stunning

> show of his photographs and talk about his experiences documenting  
> the process of climate change through photography.
