Tom Jenks Shares Antarctic Journey

Tom Jenks Antarctic-1Once again, Camera Club member Tom Jenks played the role of intrepid explorer. Having already conquered parts of Africa, this time he turned south, way south, and last November he joined the Polar Pioneer vessel on an expedition to the Antarctic peninsula.

We’ve come to expect a visual treat from Tom whenever he returns from abroad, and this is no exception. You can find photos from his journey in the Full Spectrum Gallery at the back of Foto Art until the end of June. Cool off from the summer heat (it’s coming!) by perusing stunning icebergs, chilly penguins, and blubbery seals in a dazzling array of photos you can almost walk into for a dose of refreshing cool.

Tom Jenks Antarctic-2The gallery display will leave you wanting more, and if you come to the next meeting (May 13th, 7pm, back entrance of Foto Art), you’ll be sure to get it! Tom will be presenting a slideshow to the club of his adventures. We’ll get to hear about the somewhat unseasonal weather he encountered, the logistics of photographing in (and even coping with) the harsh environment, encounters with penguins, and other stories behind some of the frosty images.

It promises to be another great night and we hope to see you there!
