Forum will make you feel very welcome and when you feel confident at
‘joining in’ then please do so. https://thesocieties.net/forum/ for more information. |

Damian ‘Big Dog’ McGillicuddy - Speakers’ Corner
We don’t believe there’s ever been a speaker line-up quite like this before at any photo convention – anywhere.
It was my uncle Brian who baptised me in the art of photography. I was 11 years old and my first camera was a Ricoh XR-1. I started an art degree just two years later but I wasn’t mature enough to handle it. I was very shy at college and I was younger than the other students. This put me at a disadvantage with the girls – until they realised I could take a half-decent picture. |
