​"Chin" Harry Hall FRPS
 
This week's guest speaker. Harry Hall FRPS from Alnwick and District Camera Club.
 
As an avid mountaineer Harry has climbed and photographed many expeditions around the world.  He has combined these two passions into his presentation tonight.
 
 Harry won his FRPS with images taken of the nomads of Tibet. "Chin" (Leaving) was a talk about the Nomads of the northern regions of Tibet and their way of life.  Over the years Harry has made friends with many of these people. He explained their way of life and the impact technology is having on them.  His talk covered living in extreme conditions, political and environmental geography, social and climate change, even animal welfare.  Of the moves to urban areas for the younger generation, seeking education for their children.
 
A very interesting and educational talk interspersed with landscapes and portraits of this nomadic way of life.
 
Harry stayed for a Q&A with members and then Lauren thanked him for his presentation.
