He will also discuss his own work which, in over 35 years, has led from Stonehenge to Hollywood, and from using a small ‘Smileycam' pinhole camera (which takes photographs from inside his mouth), to a giant trash can (which doesn’t).
A Q&A will follow Justin’s informative and entertaining Presentation. This FREE event will be held via Zoom. Please register to get the Zoom link (it will be emailed out to all registrants before the event).
