This presentation was modified from one I
gave to Chorley Photographic Society when I described my use of
my hobby of photography in recording and illustrating historical
subjects. Photographic outings from 1972 are now recordings of
historical events over 50 years on. It is also a good way of
illustrating the work of other photographers and people who have
made huge contributions to the community and are now long
forgotten. |
