Geelong/Waverley Creative Interclub 2021

In May 2021 the Creative Group invited the Geelong Camera Club Creative Group to a friendly competition to really get everyone’s creative imaginations running. There were two Categories. Firstly, a set subject “proverbs, sayings and idioms” and secondly, an open competition. We were very privileged to have the acclaimed local photographer Doug Porter as a thoughtful and generous judge.
