11:00 – 12:30 am -Talk: “Life and Death – The Temple” by  Peter Gordon of ExploreLight

Peter Gordon was recently named Irish and then overall European Photographer of the Year by the IPPA and the FEP.
Over the course of a week in late summer 2011 Peter made a collection of photographs at the Burning Man Festival in Nevada.  Located in the starkly beautiful setting of the Black Rock Desert, the festival attracts some of the most interesting and extraordinary people, art and activities you are ever likely to find in one place.
According to Peter ‘Burning Man transcends traditional interpretations of what a festival is. It has its own identity, its own peculiar and astounding nuances. It represents more than just a week in the desert:  It represents a way of life’
A central feature of the festival is the building and burning of a temple. The Temple in many ways is the spiritual hub of the festival. People visit and write messages for departed loved one’s on its walls and meditate in its centre. They grieve. They marry. They party. The festivals climax see’s the Temple being burnt and with it the grief that people have shared within its walls. These Burning Man photos are a document of a week at the Temple which seek to share the narrative behind its construct, its being and its ultimate destruction.
 
Peter is running a Kickstarter campaign to try and create a book and exhibition around the award winning images plus lots more. Please visit his Kickstarter page for more info:

2:00 – 3:3o pm – Talk: Passion for Prints by Ross McKelvey  MPAGB ARPS BPE3

Ross demonstrates his journey from camera club journeyman to LRPS and finally to MPAGB, with plenty of advice, anecdotes and information in between!
Ross McKelvey is only the 2nd ever ‘Master’ of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (MPAGB) from N.Ireland, and the first in 17 years.   For him, photography is all about ‘Prints’ and his presentation entitled ‘Passion for prints’ is designed not only to showcase his work, but to share the techniques,  the workflow, and the stories behind his production of successful photographic prints of a high standard.   The Chairman of Catchlight Camera Club in Belfast, Ross has been awarded 48 medals in National and International Competition since October 2010, and is a regular guest speaker on the camera club circuit.   A Barrister by Profession, he is also an accomplished public speaker, and this is an opportunity not to be missed – come along and be inspired to share his ‘Passion for Prints.’
