Read an article about the lecture by journalist Shelagh Ward.

The NMTC lecture was titled ‘How new media technology impacts on communication, story-telling traditions, senses of place and identity in emerging nations.’

This was followed by a fascinating overview of digital cameras (since 1980) by Phase One camera supplier Chris Ireland. Chris supplies the high-end Phase One cameras to many top photographers in the UK.
