Club Night Summary #136

Print Open

Our second week back in the hall was another really enjoyable evening featuring our latest competition. This week it was an open print league competition which naturally featured a wide range of topics for the judge Michael Lurie to critique and award the points. Once again it was great to see the finished prints around the hall for the judging, giving everyone a chance to view and appreciate the work of the authors who entered the competition. We had 27 prints to enjoy and each was given the quality of time within the judging process, which also gave each author constructive feedback on their work. The judge remarked the standard of entry was very high from our talented members who often push the boundaries with their work. Thank you to everyone who attended the evening and congratulations to the higher scoring authors on the night.

This week in the hall, we have a members evening where club member Mike Brankin takes to the floor to discuss female Imagery. Mike states his presentation will look at the way women have been portrayed in art and photography through the ages and will consider the power of the visual artist to Impact on social and political change. His presentation will pose questions as to what degree of responsibility do club photographers have when contributing to this social change in their Image making.

Look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday Steve
