Masters of Print at Wilkinson Cameras
Currently, Wilkinson Cameras are hosting the PAGB ‘Masters of Print’ exhibition at their Liverpool Bold Street branch.
The offer to show the exhibition there was made by Wilkinson’s MD, David Parkinson. When he heard the prints would end up in storage for the rest of the year, he kindly volunteered to show them at Liverpool.
The official opening was held on the 8th of March, and was attended by members of the L&CPU committee, local photographers, and Gordon Jenkins in his capacity of President of the PAGB.
The exhibition is on until the 27th of March, I thoroughly recommend you go and see it. – Ian Aldcroft ARPS, President of the L&CPU
