As one of those who sat engrossed in Tony’s recounting of his early years as a photographer, I enjoyed a look at some of his work and the thoughts behind it. Although the club has expressed through the chair their appreciation, I believe this space gives us all the chance to say thank you to him for his time, effort and the chance to glean an understanding of the art of the photographer.
