Parkinsons SA Photography Group and SALA 2020

For the last 5 years I have been involved with a group of photographers who all have Parkinson's Disease.
I myself do not have the condition but was encouraged to get involved with the group by a friend,Lyndone Radbone who had the disease.
Lyndon was great encourager who sadly died over a year ago now.
I first met him many years ago when he was a top table tennis player.
He knew I was a keen photographer and told me I should get involved with the group.
So I did.
I have been a regular member of the group since then and have found these guys very inspiring.
All of them have a keen interest in photography and have different levels of skill.
We go on regular outings and have monthly meetings but since the Covid lockdown we have had regular zoom meetings.
 Each year in South Australia there is an art exhibition that encompasses various genres in art including photography and painting etc.
It is called the South Australian Living Artists festival.

When we are up and running I will post the link to the gallery here.

SALA-South Australian Living Artists Festival at ECC

Last Friday night,(1/8/14) saw the opening of the SALA exhibition at Edwardstown Community Church.
There were six artists represented as per my earlier post on this annual arts event in Adelaide.
Our Friday night opening event was very well attended and again on Sunday afternoon.The cold weather seemed to have taken its toll on attendance this past  monday night.
We now have this next Sunday and Monday available for those who have not yet attended.
Below are some pics from the exhibition.
