PG MEETING – Tue 9th JULY,2019. Guest Speaker CRAIG PARKER” MPSA, BPSA, EFIAP/b, APSEM

All members are invited to attend the Photo Group’s Meeting on Tuesday 9th July. There will be new things to learn as Craig’s presentation will be on “Shooting for Someone Else”. What this means is that most of Craig’s photography is for himself, whether family shots, sporting events or overseas wildlife trips – he shoots what he likes.

However, since retiring from full time work, Craig does some paid photography, essentially shooting for someone else. Craig will share his experience of two projects that he has done for the Marketing Department of a local private school. Two projects with a very clear product outcome !

Time permitting, Craig will also briefly cover a few aspects of “Image Evaluation”.

By the way, for those who do not know Craig, he is a former Member of our Club, having served on the Committee as both President and Secretary and since leaving the Club a few years ago, Craig has immersed himself in getting his many, many photographic awards (as shown above).

Craig is a wonderful photographer and you will not be disappointed with his presentation. Please make the effort to attend, however cold it may be for you will most certainly be rewarded.

Thank you.

Dawne Harridge (Secretary).

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; 20^th in Digital Colour, 17^th Digital Monochrome and equal 14^th 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.
