Barry started off being mainly a nature, landscape, architecture and cityscape photographer so has some interesting stuff. More recently he has been getting into Urbex and "Street" under the influence of Tom Lee (who did our first evening talk last year). He got his LRPS and shows his panel for that. He has either got, or has applied for, his ARPS and he shows the panel for that and describes the application process. He is a VERY confident and amusing speaker and I think you will all enjoy it.
