Our works from our NAIDOC exhibition last year are now hanging in the foyer of the Monash Council Civic Centre. Thanks to Lynne Kent from the council and to Helen who helped with the hanging and thanks to those who provided their prints.
They will be hanging until August. Do drop by and have a look. The Civic Centre is on Springvale Rd, Glen Waverley.
Our June workshop will include a hands on section so make sure you bring your camera to practice photographing things that move.
Tuesday 21 June 2022 – 7:30pm

On 14th of May, we held a combined street and APS Photo Walk at Queen Victoria Market in the early morning. The outing started at 8:30 with 10 very keen members and their partners.
The market was already busy and buzzed with energy. In order to reflect the theme “Repair, recover and renew”, each of us tried our best capturing the positive and optimism of the future and people moving forward.
We met after 2 hours at one of our member Anthony Yap’s Common Ground Cafe and was treated with a surprise model shoot. Thank you Sim Chong for co-hosting the event in Ian’s absence.
More photos can be viewed in the outing gallery.
We have received the results of the 2022 4-Club (Camberwell, Maroondah, Eastern Suburbs and ourselves) interclub which was hosted by Maroondah Photographic Society and judged by Margaret Zommers this year.
We came first overall with a total of 151 points.
We also came first in the monochrome EDI section with four images receiving awards:
First place: Jen Fawkes – Who Are You
Second place: Vicki Moritz – Family Portrait
Merit: Angela McLeod – Evil
Merit: Helen Warnod – At the core
For colour EDI two of our image received awards:
Merit: Felix Shparberg – Towards a victory
Merit: Steve Hilton – Laughter is the best medicine
All of our entries can be viewed in the Monochrome EDI and Colour EDI galleries.
Our May outing will be a combined event of the APS Photo Walk and street photography. The theme for this year is: “Repair, Recover and Renew”, so we decided Queen Victoria Market will be a good place to photograph.
From 8:30am to 11:30am, followed by brunch or lunch at Anthony’s Cafe (Common Ground Cafe, 225-229 Victoria St, West Melb)
Leaders: Sim Chong and Jennifer Sui
RSVP to Jennifer Sui by Thursday 12 May 2022.

Set subject definition:
A portrait, in the broad sense, is a recognisable image of an individual person or group. The photograph must be taken from life (i.e. a physical, living person or group of people).
The subject of the portrait may be anyone. Group portraits and self-portraits will be accepted.
Tonight at the Creative Special Interest Group will be a special presentation from Sharon and Robert Prenton Jones. Online via Zoom at 7:30pm.
Monash City Council offered us the opportunity to setup a display for a Greater South Eastern Melbourne local government event held at the MWCC. We were proud to display a cross-section of our member’s images, mostly from our recent monthly competition.
Our colourful display attracted plenty of attention, and it’s always great to have the opportunity to represent our craft at the local government level. Thanks to Monash Council for the opportunity, and Vicki for her assistance with the setup and representation.
