In their song Street Life Roxy Music ask, 'who knows what you'll see, who you might meet?', which sums up our theme of Street Life pretty succinctly.

There's always plenty going on and lots to see, if you keep your eyes open. And the human element always introduces an element of unpredictability.

This was ably captured by our members who happened to be at the right place at the right time, as Andrew Jackson was with his Ladies and Gents image - see left.

Our first talk this year from an invited speaker is from Derbyshire-based Ashley Franklin, who will examine the work of the photographic greats. We will discover a fascinating world as Ashley explores the story of Portrait, Fashion, Industrial, Travel, War, News, Street & Social Documentary Photography.

The talk will be illustrated by the work of many of the greats of photography, including Avedon, Bailey, Beaton, McCullin, Karsh, Liebovitz and Salgado. Ashley promises 'an evening of informative, inspiring, powerful and world-changing imagery'.

The talk will take place at the Baptist Schoolroom, Guilsborough Road, NN6 7AD at 7pm for 7:15. Tickets are £5 for non-members - if you wish to attend please email us at events@whphoto.club.

April's theme is Rock. It's one of those subjects that we're deliberately leaving open to interpretation by our members.

So, what might we see? Rock and roll? Stick of rock? Rock the cradle? Er, a rock? Part of the fun of our Show and Tell meetings is seeing just how imaginative our members are and, indeed, how far they can push the meaning. You're welcome to come along and see for yourself at our next meeting.

Make sure you rock up and submit your images by 9pm on Wednesday 16th April - either upload to Dropbox or by email to members@whphoto.club.

This month it was the turn of our new chairman, Tony Teague, to take us with us on his photographic journey.

Tony is well-known both in and outside WHPC for his enthusiasm for railways in general, and steam locomotives in particular. This he demonstrated with many superb examples of imaginative train and locomotive images, some taken from privileged lineside positions.

We were also treated to photos that Tony has taken on his travels. These weren't endless holiday snaps - something Tony abhors - but well-composed and thoughtful shots of landscapes and iconic places. Tony generously credited others for helping him along on his photographic journey, but it's he who pressed the shutter button and provided us with the photos on an enjoyable evening.

For this month's Knowledge Night we invited David Kallmeier, our Club Secretary, to give us an illustrated talk on how his photography started and has developed as his skills have increased.

He started his talk by giving us a history of the cameras he has owned, together with example images from each. He explained how each new camera provided him with the tools to push his photography to a higher level.

David’s known for his beautiful macro and still life photos. He's also a skillful landscape photographer and is no slouch when it comes to wildlife - so, pretty good at anything he points his camera at. He demonstrated his skills at each genre by showing us some sumptuous images and answered questions from the audience.

We left suitably inspired - thank-you David for your presentation. Next month it's the turn of Tony Teague, our new Chair, to tell us about his photographic journey.
