Silver anniversary for Buxton

Norfolk’s Buxton Photographic Club marks quarter century

ABOVE Geoff Clark’s photograph of a Chicago car park is just one of many member images that prove monochrome deserves more attention. Mono alive andwell in East Midlands One of a handful of societies in the UK dedicated to monochrome photography, East Midlands Monochrome Group is in fine fettle, 16 years after its birth. The group began when two keen photographers, who were concerned that clubs weren’t paying mono photography enough attention, realised there was enough interest to start a dedicated group. Regular meetings have been held ever since, and the group now meets on the first and third Wednesdays of themonthat Sywell’s villagehall, near Northampton. As well as an excellent programme of activities and talks on black & white photography, the group also has a permanent travelling exhibition. Showcasing work by its members, the display visits a wide range of venues in the East Midlands; it arrives at Daventry Library on 8 August. If you’re interested in the exhibition, or in joining the group, visit the website or call Bob Holt on 01307 262886.
