Brian Thompson shares highlights as a staff photographer at The Expositor.
On Nov 22nd CFUW members enjoyed a presentation by Brian Thompson who shared some of the highlights of his 31 years as a staff photographer at The Expositor. Brian also shared some beautiful and insightful personal photos taken over the years as well as through his involvement with the Brant Camera Club, of which he is the president.
November General Meeting: November 22, 2017
Topic: Be a BIG fish in a small pond: Brian Thompson, photographer
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. Meeting Starts at 7:30 p.m.
Brian will be sharing with members some of the highlights of his 31 years as a staff photographer at The Expositor and will touch on his personal ethics as they pertain to news photography. Working at a smaller paper has provided him with some amazing opportunities that may not have come his way had he been working at one of the bigger urban dailies in Toronto or elsewhere. Since 2006, he has garnered 11 Ontario Newspaper Awards, an achievement which is very personally rewarding to him. Brian will also share some of his personal photography outside of work for The Expositor, and his involvement with the Brant Camera Club, of which he is the president.

Basketeers Program of Nova Vita
CFUW Brantford Members enthusiastically supported the Basketeers Program of Nova Vita, our local women’s shelter, again this year, donating enough money and articles to put together three full kitchen baskets. These baskets will benefit women leaving the shelter to set up their own residences after leaving difficult situations. Good job all!
