The Impossible Photograph

a talk by award-winning Wildlife Photographer, Guide and Conservationist

Paul Goldstein (HS 76-80)

EM Forster Theatre, Tonbridge School

Wednesday 25 June, 8pm

Award-winning Wildlife Photographer, Guide and Conservationist Paul Goldstein is frequently in hot water. Not welcome in some countries, he has faced a number of death threats, never being afraid of employing the truth like a rapier. He is enormously outspoken on conservation matters and has surgical scars from the 25 marathons he has run for his beloved Bengal tigers. He founded four safari camps in Kenya, continues to guide in five continents and is still trying for 'that' photograph.

At Hill Side he picked up his first Russian camera, developing his inaugural role of black and white film in the School dark room. He would delete all of those just as he does most of his efforts today. Come along for The Impossible Photograph: a lavishly illustrated, yet savage and hilarious dissection of his efforts and his views and participation in conservation today.

The Sunday Times described him as 'impossibly vivacious with psychotic gusto'. Come and find out why....you've been warned.
