Yesterday evening, we attended An Evening with Andy Rouse at the Stroud Theatre in Street. No, not in a street - a town called Street. It’s a whimsical name for a town, but the South West is rich in natural whimsy.
For those who don’t already know, Andy Rouse is a wildlife photographer who has won many awards, and taken an amazing number of truly great photos. He’s also known for his humour and love of West Ham (for non-Brits - that’s a football club, not a type of meat).
We had a great time. Before the show even started Andy was running around meeting people and joking with them, and selling books and calendars. I jumped in early to pick up a copy of his latest book, Understanding RAW Photography, getting it signed, and taking the chance to hand him a Moo card.
