    Last meeting held on Tues 19 May: A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of the Other – Uwe Ackermann         Some two years ago Uwe gave a presentation on his remarkably creative ‘constructive’ images. This time he was presenting his images that were not constructed and more ‘conventional’. Water has always interested Uwe. His working life in cardiology meant he focussed on the kidney, which is all about managing water in our body. His ‘watery’ work-life balance meant that he did a lot of sailing, and this was the focus of the first part of his presentation. Being near water is a good place for contemplation and taking photographs, and Uwe showed a rich variety of aspects of the weather, fish, people who work on the water, ‘stone-skippers’, racing and more ‘pedestrian’ canoeing, play by and in the water, sailing dinghies, and the odd and the whimsical by the water.
