Vale David Miller GMAPS, EFIAP July 2nd 2019
Late yesterday the Wollongong Camera Club received the sad news that David Miller GMAPS, EFIAP had passed away. He hasn’t been well for some time, passing away during follow-up surgery.
David has been a long friend of the club, both as a Presenter and a Judge. His photographic knowledge, experience and love of all things photography are well known, and respected, throughout the photographic fraternity. He earnt many photographic accolades; Club, State, Nationally and Internationally with his images and presentations. His world ranking in 2014, according to the Photographic Society of America (PSA) were; 20th in Digital Colour, 17th Digital Monochrome and equal 14th in Photojournalism, such was his picture standard. David wasn’t just a picture-taker; rather he explored all avenues of photography to ensure that he had the best picture possible on display.
In 2015 and 2016 David presented lectures in China at the invitation of the Chinese Government. Back home, many clubs have benefited from his knowledge and experienced his unique presentation style that entertained whilst the audience learnt, a great communicator of photography. He has been published in the media many times, including a number of books and the newspapers; the Sydney Morning Herald and Daily Telegraph.
Personally I first met David prior to the 2000 Paralympic Games when he visited the Club as a presenter. Then at the 2000 Sydney Paralympic Games, where he was an accredited photographer, he took the time out of the busy schedule to say gidday and shared a few of the moments he has seen at the Games.
David wasn’t just a photographer; he was also an Administrator, stepping in where there was a need. Since late 2014 to early 2019 he was President of the FCC when ill health forced him to stand aside. Other clubs that has benefited from David’s invaluable leadership has been St. George (President 5 times and Life Member), Dooleys Camera Club (founding member, President 3 times and Life Member), APS (Australian Photographic Society) and PSA (Photographic Society of America) memberships.
David will be remembered for unique presentation style; entertaining and teaching, along with his ability to mentor others in the field of photography.
