I thought this was a opportunity for me to exhibit my <a title=\"Botanics People\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hyam.net\/blog\/archives\/2830\">Botanics People<\/a> photos so I showed Leonie the archivist my prints on Tuesday. She liked them but was just about to put historic staff pictures in the cabinets for Friday&#8217;s annual staff conference. Perhaps I could exhibit them on the walls?

A trip across town, help from Vlasta to curated forty odd originals down to fifteen then frantic hanging and I had the exhibition in place for nine on Friday morning and the staff conference. It is not ideal. The lighting is rubbish but I have my first portraits exhibition!<\/p>\n<p>So far I have had lots of positive feedback. People have said they look &#8216;fantastic&#8217; and other superlatives. Several people have said they have been moved by the shots which I am touched by.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping that this will open up the possibility of making more photographic portraits in 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday I noticed that the exhibition cabinets in the foyer of the main science building were empty with a note saying the library (who coordinate the exhibitions) were taking a break before the next exhibit.
