Over sixty people attended the exhibition, of which two were MPs and organisers from Kirkstall Festival are really happy with the result; so much so they are now creating a permanent archive of the images.

Not forgetting that a permanent record will be created as a photobook to be stored at various locations including Abbey House Museum (Exposure Leeds will be acquiring a copy) and a special section to the next Kirkstall Matters magazine will carry a number of images.

Exposure Leeds’ Si Cliffe, Mark Jaffe and Paul Dishman were among those who had their images selected for special display.

I’d personally like to thank Ken Stratford for the invite and his tireless work on this project and also Rachel Barker and Lauren Pissochet who curated the exhibition (and will be producing the photobook). Finally I’d like to send a special thank you to all the photographers from Exposure Leeds for the wonderful images they created.

Thanks yet again for organising, Jon.

“Are you in Leeds tomorrow night? Check out the photographic legend Rosie Hardy who is talking all evening – entry is an unbelievable bargainous £2, which even gets you a free tea, so you have NO excuse!”

Simon Murray: Really enjoyed the night – Rosie’s energy is infectious and she is incredibly inspired all the while being inspiring!

James Gennard: Very much enjoyed Rosie’s presentation – quite an enthusiastic, infectious, eloquent artist of the digital era, who creates resources and images from the simplest of ideas.

Me: What a fantastic evening thanks so much to Rosie Hardy for a wonderful, insightful and entertaining talk! And thanks to so many of you guys from Exposure Leeds for turning up – 55 in the audience! Super chuffed here!
