A large gathering of DPS members blended seamlessly with the friendly folk of Stockton street market on the day before Mam’s Day, Saturday 17th March. I say seamlessly, though they could be considered odd as most were gazing skyward in search of a killer special challenge shot of roofs or chimneys. Once again, Colin (I see Faces) Armitstead has chosen a winning location with wonderful photography opportunities all around. After meeting at the monument at the appointed hour at the town hall (which definitely has a roof and eight chimneys, dutifully photographed ) and enjoying the conviviality of the moment, the intrepid photographers dispersed into the colourful market, ablaze with Mam’s Day flowers and gifts, the nearby, but very different, enclosed Flea Market, the streets around and the riverside.
As always, there were plenty of opportunities for socialising, both with fellow members and local characters (and a dog), and a very good time was had by all. Your blogger can hardly contain him (or her) self in eager anticipation of the follow up gathering when prints are proudly (or nervously) produced to wild acclaim. He (or she) can see it now ...
