Harold’s Cross Festival Photowalk and Exhibition


I’m very happy to be taking part in the Harold’s Cross Festival this year with a photography exhibition in the Five Points Cafe in Harold’s Cross entitled ‘Dreams of the Grand Canal’. On exhibit also are photographs taken by some of the participants at the photowalk I led last year along the Canal for the Festival. The exhibition will be on display until the end of the Festival on Sunday 20th of May. That morning I will lead a photowalk starting from the pond at Mount Argus Park at 11.30am. All ages, levels and types of cameras are welcome and there will be an exhibition of the participants’ images at next year’s Festival. Hope to see you on the 20th!
