Our last meeting saw Shane Rozario from
"We are Observers" present his views on creativity and competition. Shane's presentation style and his obvious passion for what he does made an entertaining and thought provoking evening. It is always beneficial to open our minds to new and interesting ideas. Vivid Sydney Festival
Vivid Sydney will be held between Friday 24th May to Saturday 15th June.
An annual magnet for photographers, this year will feature an expanded outdoor gallery of light displays. To plan your outing go to : www.vividsydney.com/ The Mono Awards 2019
The Mono Awards is looking for the best Black and White photography from Australia and New Zealand.
Why black and white? Because we love it and, while monochrome is as old as photography itself, we believe it is as relevant now in the age of digital as it was when Henri Cartier-Bresson was walking the streets of Paris with a Leica rangefinder. The Mono Awards is open from 14 March until 30 June 2019, with $10,000 in cash and prizes to be won. More information at: www.themonoawards.com.au/
Camera Gear SalesIf anyone has camera gear or magazines or anything photographically related they would like to sell/donate please contact Bill with details and we can list them in the newsletter.
