My St Paul’s Photography Exhibition
A selection of photographs taken at this year’s St Pauls Carnival by the Over 50s Photography Group, who got together for a short black and white photography course based in the darkrooms at the Learning Centre over the summer of 2018.
“They took photos, processed film, made prints, and had a lot of fun. We hope you enjoy the memories of a hot summer’s day.”
The photographs will be exhibited within the café at the centre as well as on the outside Exhibition Wall.

The Real Photography Community Interest Company has been set up in Bristol to revive and refresh, optical science and the wonders of light through photographic related experimentation.
One of the directors, Justin Quinnell said,
”We grow up in an era of digital image and perception, living in the virtual rather than the real. Educators and children are bombarded with commercially driven ‘answers’ to provide wonder, however there are many affordable experiments mixing old and new technologies which can open up the wonder of light to people who may otherwise believe perception can only be viewed with digital screens and downloaded apps”.
“We aim to give insight and knowledge to individuals and a sense of history within their city where in 1803 Humphrey Davy and Thomas Wedgwood met up and invented the first photographic process”.
