2008 Grenfell Henry Lawson Festival photographs and acknowledgements
Had the pleasure of photographing the 2008 Grenfell Henry Lawson Festival of Arts Street Procession on June 7, 2008 and thought I’d share a small sample of the images I took.
Also like to extend my gratitude to the following people who made me feel welcome during my visit:
Jenny Smith – Festival President
Amy and Tim Wood – Festival Photography Competition Co-Ordinators
Carol and Noel Jones – Grenfell Motel Owner/Operators
Julie and Geoff Grattan – Grenfell Camera Club
Noelene and Lisa Davies – Grenfell Camera Club
Jan and Arthur Davidson – Grenfell Camera Club
Colin Walsh – Grenfell Record Photographer
Peter Soley – Grenfell Record Editor
Gaynor England – Festival Short Story and Verse Co-Ordinator
There’s many others I met during the festival, however I’m unable to recall all the names – my apology.
I had a great time visiting and experiencing the festival, and being a small part of it made it extra special.
Cheers,
Darren.

Darren you must have had the best spot in town because I didn’t get as good a shot as these.Don’t worry we really enjoyed your visit just as much as you enjoyed our company. Love all the photos and I can’t recognize one single person in them.lol
Darren Stones replied
Noelene, I was closely located to Colin Walsh near the roundabout. He was inside the orange barricade, I was just outside it. I put my AJA media pass round my neck and squeezed in nicely. :)

Festivals are a great way of seeing what a town or city has to offer.
These are great photos Darren,the locals looked happy to see a photographer capturing their special day.
Darren Stones replied
jodenecarlyle, there’s no doubt Grenfell locals came out in force to support their annual festival. They should be proud of their efforts. Thanks for commenting.
