Thanks to everyone who visited the exhibition, came on a photo walk, viewed the slide show, supported the fire crew, took photos for Postcards of Reading 2015 and stopped by to look at our photos and chat. It was a pleasure meeting you. You can still participate in Postcards of Reading 2015, take your photographs of the Newtown area of Reading and mail them to Tanya at the address below before the end of 2015. They'll be collected for my archive and also scanned and posted on http://postcards-of-reading-2015.tumblr.com

Stop by to see the photographs and for a chat, there'll usually be at least one photographer at the Turbine House . We'd also like to invite you to join us for the following activities.

EXHIBITION runs - Saturday 25th July through Saturday 8th August 10 - 6.
PERCEPTION AND CONCEPTION - SLIDESHOW ILLUSTRATED TALK
Richard invites you to a slideshow and talk focusing on how to really ‘look’ at photographs in order to appreciate them more fully. Simple ideas Richard learnt at college that have stuck with him ever since. This talk will give you insight into both producing better photographs and appreciating other photographer’s work. There will be an informal question and answer session afterwards.

POSTCARDS OF READING - PHOTO WALK
Tanya invites you to join her for 3 photo walks around Reading to create images for yourself and to add to her archive entitled Postcards of Reading, 2015. Taking inspiration from her images in the 1980s, we will forgo the usual cliched subject matter of the Hexagon, churches & narrow boats and focus instead on the actual experience of Reading that we encounter when walking through it. The resulting postcards will feature in a one day pop up exhibition at the Turbine House on the last day of Reading: A Start and a Return.
WHO: All welcome. Any skill level, any age, any camera. Children accompanied by an adult.
WHEN & WHERE Meet at the Turbine House. Time: 7.45am Each walk will finish at 10am. Sunday 26 July, Wednesday 29 July, Saturday 1 August. Choose any or all dates. Pop Up Exhibition: Set - up Saturday 8 August 8am. Pop up exhibition opening 10am.
