This months' featured exhibition is titled  'Transition' by Colin Dixon
Thank you, Colin, for sharing this deeply personal and emotional experience.
Hopefully, more people will pay attention to this issue and broaden their views.

My daughter told my wife and I in February 2016 of his intention to Transition to a woman. This was a very difficult time for both of us and extremely difficult for us to get our heads around. After 30 years of having a son it is a big turn around in your head. But we quickly became aware that this is not an easy move for her either to come out to us and family and to make the huge life changes. Many people lose all their family and friends which I know was a big worry for her. My wife and I are now very proud of what she has done and of her bravery.  This is a look at the images that have grown from this event and the creativity it has brought to my photography and into a very particular style of work I am still doing with a passion. 

I invite you to explore this exhibition's sensitive topic. It is an honest and magnificent ode from a father and mother to their daughter.
