Mind Over Camera with Richie Walton and SWPP |
 |

|
|
For anyone who has visited SWPP in London, the image of the "guy with the hat" will probably be quite familiar. Well "the guy with the hat" aka Richard P. Walton ( www.photograffiti.tv ) was in Athens with the Paul Taylor from the Societies (SWPP) ( http://www.swpp.co.uk/ ) to present his very excellent Mind over Camera Seminar. Hosted at the Margi Hotel in Vouliagmeni, and joined by an enthusiastic team of Athenian photographers, Richard talked us through his techniques - and reminded us that images are made with our minds and our hearts, and not by cameras and technology. I feel honoured to have spent a day with Richard, Paul, Celine and my fellow Greek photographers.
Knowledge was shared, laughs were had, hills and trees were climbed!!!, stunning images were created ... new friends were made!
What more could one ask from a single day! |
