If sorting out the shipping frightens you, no mater where from, UK, USA, Australia or wherever… DON’T LET IT! We can provide you with advice and advise on easy ways to reclaim your VAT and this, with the aid of a good supplier, this is one of the most simplest things you could imagine.

I would love to see some questions posed below so i can answer them and hopefully encourage / aid your next purchase with the minimal of fuss… So, fire away… any question you like….

(erm,… probably opened myself up for abuse now haven’t I!?)

Over the whole of June Guernsey will be come host to a plethora of internationally acclaimed photographers and all of the exhibitions are based around the theme “Identity”

Local… clubs, budding amateurs and professional photographers will be exhibiting too.

My personal involvement is an amount of sponsorship for the event but also that of being involved with a club that is exhibiting and a presentation of my own.

The digital image camera club exhibition will be at the Town Church and i would very much like to thank The Very Reverend Canon K.Paul Mellor Dean of Guernsey for his very kind permission in allowing us to exhibit there.  There will be 14 images taken by 14 different people with their take on what ‘Identity’ means to them…

My own personal project which is about the Identity of the people around the Harbour will be displayed out side our offices and is entitled ‘Harbour Life’ – quite apt being on the harbour and about the harbour.  I am quite excited about it as this will be my first exhibition and i am very pleased with what i have achieved.  I also have the privilege of having two of my images selected to be displayed at the Guernsey Airport… and i must say i am really chuffed about that!

My project has taken just over 6 months and is an ongoing one as i want to continue to record the people who work here – may be even produce a book but we will see how it goes.

If you visit either the digital image camera club exhibition or that of my own (during the whole of June remember eh!)  i would be interested to know your comments and observations.

A copy of the full Festival programme can be downloaded by clicking on the camera below…
