It's finally on - Two very long days installing and presenting my solo exhibition at the Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre in Newport (NP20 1HG). The exhibition runs throughout the length of April and open to the public daily, including weekends.

TV screen displays "Pictorial Orotone's" with a gold-toned image of a seated figure. Text: "Presented by Tom Lee" and contact details.

If my back and legs could talk they would be screaming! Still, the images are up now and was very well received by a select few guests invited to view a short presentation about Pictorialism and my Orotone process.

Sign reading "the riverfront glan yr afon" on a tiled building facade. A subtle griffin design is visible. The scene has a modern feel.

One of the few things you have no control over, is the guests! You can invite any number of people to the event but if they don't show yuo always think is it me? However, I try not to dwell on such things and I'm very appreciative of those that do come along (or at least tell me they can't make it).

One of the brightest points of the evening was the attendance of a good friend and benifactor - Pritpal bought three of the Glass Orotone prints on show. My thanks however extend not only to my guests, but the Riverfront gallery and its staff for showcasing my exhibition.
