This review is a wee bit different to others. Two holgablog writers both ended up getting the same camera within a few days of each other (even though they live 1000′s of miles apart), so they have joined forces for a review-duel!

Somehow we managed to miss last month’s POTM, but we can reveal we have an action packed next few POTM, with some amazing photographers taking us up to Christmas. This month, we present the work of Thom Perry: photographer, designer, and Aussie (although we won’t hold that against him!).

One of the members, Sandra Carrion, proposed organizing an exhibit opportunity for other gallery members and the rest is history: weve held the members Krappy Kamera exhibition every year since then.
