Life Through A Lens Update

This morning, we met with Colin Tennant and volunteers involved with the Life Through A Lens Project.

We will discuss possible ideas for photos which will represent the things which are barriers to inclusion and society for us.

Our Wednesday morning college course has now finished. We enjoyed learning about using the internet with Dhugal.

Our book Ellon Through Our Eyes is now at the printers and we are keeping our fingers crossed it is going to be ready for the centre's 20th anniversary.

The garage conversion has started because they're doing it now.

Ellon Through Our Eyes Redesign

I am redesigning the Ellon Through Our Eyes book by adding some pictures, including Reminiscence Group, and adding some text. We won't have page numbers until the book is finished. The book would have approximately 50 pages.

Weekly Report

We've been giving references for the Ellon Through Our Eyes book. (Grrrrr!).

We are also having ideas on what they are going to add into the big Centre Scene newsletter.

We went out several times with Colin last week and he taught us how to use cameras better.

A lot of us joined in the sponsored walk round Ellon on Friday. Using our photography skills, the photograph of the group doing the sponsored walk was at the old Ellon bridge.


I was going to get an old register for the list of the service users for my yearbook, which I designed at home.

That's all for now, we're enjoying the sunshine!!!!
