Jim Harrison is a very fondly remembered. He attained his century and that was marked by a special L&CPU medal. He was one of the first members to buy a digital camera and thoroughly enjoyed using it – he was into his nineties at the time! In 2003 we held our first projected digital image […]

Crewe PS President Alan Goodin
Our portrait evening, 3rd April 2014 was an enjoyable event but overshadowed by the sad news that our President and longest standing member Alan Goodin had died. Alan was a true gentleman.

Portraits, Portraits
Portraits and Natural History are the two favourite genres at the moment and so it is no surprise that our two portrait competitions this year were well supported, and lots of new work too!

Crewe PS PDI Knock-Out – 20 March 2014
Our annual Knock-Out for projected images is just for fun; members see the photographs projected in pairs and vote for their preference. The flaw is, of course, that two excellent pieces of work might be paired together and so a good picture is lost to the competition. That’s why we say it is just for […]
