Celebrating 50 years of photography
1:11pm Friday 5th March 2010
A PAIR of photographers are taking a trip down memory lane to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Saltburn Photographic Society.
Tony and Cath Lynn were founder members of the group and remain keen photographers despite Mr Lynn turning 80 recently.
To mark the occasion, the group has opened an exhibition of its work at Kirkleatham Museum, Redcar.
Mr Lynn said: “One of the highlights of the last 50 years is the number of people who are getting interested in photography again “There was a time when numbers were falling, but the advent of digital photography has meant we have as many members as ever.”
The exhibition, which runs until April 25, features a total of 82 images taken by 26 society members, including new members who have joined this year.
