Hi, I'm Michael Sapsed. I have been a keen photographer for almost 30 years. In the 1980′s I set-up a darkroom and experimented with many darkroom techniques whilst developing and printing B&W and Colour prints and slides. I enjoy taking and displaying photos.

Welcome to my 2014 Highlights Video. Like last year I’ve taken a selection of photos from Grading’s, Competition’s, Lesson’s and Summer Camp and put them to music. This year I took a happy theme with plenty of smiling club members and of course I had to use the song “HAPPY” by Pharrell Williams. I hope you enjoy this 7 minute look back over the year.
