A Monthly Publication

 A return exhibition of photographs and verse by Chris Amos at the Coal Shed Gallery, Hunstanton, Saturday 5^th and Sunday 6^th September 2009.

Following a successful exhibition at the end of August last year Chris brings you another chance to view his work with some new photographs and some old favourites, once again based around the local area.

              Chris developed his photographic skill in the early 1970s whilst undertaking biological research for 3 years in the frozen wilderness of Antarctica.  This was followed by a couple of years employed by the Victoria State Government’s marine fisheries department in Australia, then for over 30 years in marine fisheries management in North Yorkshire and King’s Lynn.  Chris now works part-time as the Deputy Town Clerk for Hunstanton Town Council.

  Keen to bring his exciting personal experiences to the wider audience, Chris embarked upon a life-time’s ambition to combine the very best of his photographic library with a unique style of original verse and prose.  The intervening years working in the U.K. and travelling, both professionally and recreationally, through Western Europe and Scandinavia brought many more opportunities to expand his portfolio and pursue that ambition.

  This exhibition, based purely upon local subjects found in Norfolk during recent years, adheres to his central theme of expressing, in pictures and verse; his “close encounters with nature” and its wonders.
