Murray
ARPS
Sue has been a familiar sight around Wivenhoe for many years invariably with her camera. She earned her Associateship of the Royal Photographic Society in 1985 with a collection of photographs which she describes as her 'Art' pictures. She has shown her work of people and subjects around Wivenhoe in many local exhibitions as well as further afield. She has taken hundreds of photographs of mainly people and local events in which she has taken a great interest. Some of her photographs she has allowed to be used in this Wivenhoe web site. "Apart from the community events and contributions to Wivenhoe Council's promotions, the main feature of my work has been documentary, much of it for the Essex Record Office and English Heritage, through the Wivenhoe Society. My last major project was a four year record of the construction of the surge barrier on the River Colne. But now in my eightieth year, it is an emergency! I must capture precious moments in time - never repeated, and, because of my camera, never forgotten." Sue Murray, 2003.
