Our second night of the season was the hugely popular Being and Share. For this we met for introductions in the old cafe room, while our usual lecture theatre space hosted a speaker for the PSNS Archaeology section.
This worked to our advantage, allowing tables of small groups to spend time ice-breaking over discussion of images brought in by all. With nearly 20 new faces this season, no one knows everyone else, so if you feel you don’t, don’t worry, you are not alone.
Four tables downstairs, four more upstairs. We had images on prints, tablets, phones, stick drives, laptops. We had images from members of 40+ years standing, from those along for their first visit, and everyone in between.
And somewhere in the corner, Tim had set up tripods with cameras running timelapse exposures, to capture a sense of the animated bustle of the evening. The results may yet appear in our Facebook group, at Perth Photo Forum. (If you’re joining that, make sure to answer the membership questions).
To round off the evening, a growing sociable gathering convened in the bar of the Grampian Hotel, just over the road. With just long enough for a swift half or so, we had the place to ourselves for some relaxed photo chat. Perfect.
