As many of my readers know… I am a member of one of the oldest Photographic Society’s in the world… the South Liverpool Photographic Society.

Each year, at this time, the Society’s main season has ended in June/July, and the Society opens itself to a more relaxed and informal ‘Summer’ season… when we run more ‘fun’ type competitions and talks… it is to this end that the SLPS 2019 Summer Assignment took place.
