Most of the courses cost $350. This morning (sunny & no wind ) I had fifteen from the Photographic Art
course taking photos in the garden. A few of them showed me their pics & I would say they are lurching into the realms of modern art. Very creative & clever, which I don't think is my thing. You should have seen
their photographic gear !

A few with bags like cabin trunks suggesting they were off on a world trip..........I took my camera OUT
OF MY POCKET, & not one of the fifteen could do that ! They needed a kangaroo pouch !

Here they are. In the group the tutor, from Auckland, Harry Janssen is on the right, & MummaHen is 4th on the left (one partly hidden). It was a fun morning.
