The Guild

Mr Barr is a member of Carluke Camera Club and will talk briefly about the development of digital photography as an introduction to his audio-visual programme. Mr Barr was in the motor trade all his life and latterly used his photographic expertise in the production of sales leaflets (mainly for Jaguar cars), so his presentation will appeal to photographic and car enthusiasts alike, and also to those of us who enjoy looking at beautiful photographs with soft background music. Please come and join us for what should be an enjoyable evening.
