This is a story about Worcester folk, which will shape our view of history for future generations. This photographic sketchbook was created in almost a year between the summer of 2024 and the 80th anniversary celebrations of VE Day celebrations on the 8th May 2025.
The members of the Digibox Camera Club embrace photography as a hobby, enjoying competitions with their own visions and perspectives. The Worcester book has open parameters to provide a robust learning curve, and the inclusion of three young guest photographers has added to both the content and style of picture taking.
And as editor continues to provide a rich learning curve for me.
The launch of the Worcester book is at Hash, in Chapel Walk, Worcester
on 22 October 2025.
