Hi members
A reminder to all members that the Club requires at least 80 prints in order to present an interesting and worthwhile Exhibition.
As advised last Tuesday, the Club has around 50 black metal frames which members are entitled to borrow. These frames are 16 x 20 inch or 50 x 40 cm in size.
We have limited the number of prints that each member can submit to four, i.e. colour and/or mono. If you are using your own frames please give consideration to having black frames so that we can maintain uniformity throughout the display. If this is a problem please phone Dawne to discuss.
If you want to submit images in your own frames that are slightly over or under the requested sizing, please feel free to do so as we should be able to incorporate them into the overall presentation.
The Club has four easels, (two of which are now reserved by two members) on which we can display large framed images or canvas prints and there is also an area above the fireplace in the main entrance hall at the Court House where a fairly large image can be hung.
If you have a large print that you wish to either exhibit or sell, please let Dawne know in advance stating whether it is a canvas or framed image and the approximate size. This information would need to be e-mailed to Ruth Brooks as well .. secretary@wollongongcameraclub.org.au – thank you!
As of today, only four members have borrowed Club frames and this is somewhat concerning as we would like to see a good representation of our members’ work. The images you display can be on any subject and they don’t have to be images that have previously been entered in Club competitions. One member said to me last Tuesday … “I won’t be submitting anything, as my work is not good enough for an Exhibition” … I have to admit that this was a disappointing response, as all our members, without exception, do some wonderful photography which I am sure that the General Public will enjoy viewing or even buying.
Anyone wishing to borrow Club frames can contact me on 0401 540 699 to arrange a time and date to collect the frames.
As advised previously, we will be collecting members framed images on Tuesday 25th May (competition evening). Please make sure that your frames are are well wrapped so that they do not scratch or damage. Also ensure that you have a label at the back of each image stating :
Name ….
Title of Image ….
For Sale … $ amount (print only or framed)
(If using a Club frame, the frame would not be included)
or
Not For Sale
NOTE : Most importantly, please e-mail Ruth with the details as shown on your label secretary@wollongongcameraclub.org.au
We need the support of all our members to make this Exhibition a success, so please support your Club.
Thank you.
Dawne Harridge
