We have recently started a photography club at the office, called Lightbox. Out
of a population of around 1000 (employees and contractors), about 80 expressed
an interest, and in the first week of operation about 30 have actually paid
membership dues, which is a very good result for a newly started club. I am the
treasurer. Last night we had our first event, a "tertulia" on photography.
Tertulia is a Spanish word that is difficult to translate; two of Google's
suggestions, "roundtable" or "bull session" are not bad but not 100% accurate.
In any event, we were 26 people in a small bar which we had to ourselves, four
of us made a presentation and we had a good discussion about various aspects of
photography (discussion is an important element in a tertulia). Here is
Philippa making a presentation about traditional film photography, her passion:

The girl in the foreground is Romanian, the two people in the background are
Greek and Spanish/Belgian, respectively. Typical for our office.
