Christopher Griffiths : Living Art

Exhibiting Members : Christopher Griffiths

I live in Portsmouth which even though a large town still has some decent parkland with a diverse range of wildlife, and we are only 10 mins drive away from countryside proper and all the photo opportunities it provides. I have just switched from film to digital and am reaping the benefits that it offers in relation to speed and control over my pictures.
