Photography : The Photographers Journey <\/strong>1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took this image at Stoke Bruerne eleven days ago on the 13th September using the Fuji X100V and I have returned to it today because of something I am now going to watch today via zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember walking down to the canal having parked on the Angela’s campsite I was on my own, the day before I was going to be teaching a workshop about cameracraft, whisch would then be followed by a heritage photography experience day I was co-hosting with Robert H which would see 25 fellow members of the Royal Photographic Society arrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RPS is in difficulties at the moment because the design of a new CRM (Customer relationship management) they are trying to implement has failed. I currently volunteer in a number of areas for the society and it makes my role tricky but that is a story I do not want to be writing about this morning. What I want to ask is what is a photographer’s journey?<\/strong> Today’s zoom might give me some answers, maybe, because it is the day of the RPS AGM and the President Simon Hill promises to talk about a new concept the RPS hopes to champion which he calls The Photographers Journey. I was thinking about what my journey has been and thought of the image I post above because somehow it makes me think of a long journey that has taken many directions over many years.<\/p>\n\n\n

I grabbed the above from the RPS website before it vanished, it shows my journey in photography over the last 44 years. I am told by the CEO that not many people used the CV section of the website so they are not keeping it. I think that is a sad decision because I used to look at a lot of member’s and my RPS is about the members, and last year I was proud to received the RPS Fenton Medal for my services to the Members and Photography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I will be thinking about today is where my journey in photography is heading in the future…………<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
