On December 7 we’ll be holding our annual Christmas Social Evening and Photo Rally Exhibition. Please bring along a plate of food for all to share. You can also take the opportunity to hand in framed prints for the upcoming exhibition at the Old Fire Station Gallery, Kiama.
Most of our club members know Diane Epoff. She has judged at our Print and Slide of the Year Competition, she’s been a guest speaker at our club, she has taught Photoshop classes that many of our members have attended, and she’s generally been around the Illawarra photography scene for quite a while.
Diane now has an exhibition running at the Long Gallery at the University of Wollongong, titled “Bundanon, Terra Firma - Terra Alba”. From the promotional material:
Through fieldwork at Bundanon, the cultural landscape is mapped and analysed, and relationships between perceived dual forces are explored in works which contemplate associations between: settler and country, clearing and bush, introduced species and native, home and habitat, past and present, visible and invisible, and light and shadow.
Alluding to postcolonial notions of place and emplacement, these images employ both traditional and digital photographic techniques and processes, and reveal complex and contradictory relationships through a visual discourse which is layered with Diane’s own personal experience and vision of Bundanon.
The exhibition runs from October 27 to November 11, 2005, in the Long Gallery, Faculty of Creative Arts, Building 25, University of Wollongong.
The prints in the exhibition were shown to us by Diane during her recent presentation at our club, but it’s quite impressive to see them printed full-size (some over a metre in the long dimension). The detail in the prints goes on and on, and you can spend a fair bit of time poring over them and examining them from up close and from further back.
Brother and sister Ollie and Dom Barrington from Riversdale7 Fine Art Photography have put together a great exhibition of their photography at The Old Fire Station Gallery, Terralong Street, Kiama. The exhibition is titled “From Source to Sea, the journey of just one drop”, and runs November 1 to 7, 2005.
The photographs range in style from elegant minimalism to sweeping landscapes and gushing waterfalls, always with water as an element.
If you aren’t able to make it to the gallery, you can see the images online at the Riversdale7 Gallery. Just make sure you wait for that page to load - it doesn’t look like there’s anything there at first, but it’s loading a Flash presentation if you’re patient.
Time to polish up the macro lenses and review your close-up techniques - our club outing in November is to the Rhododendron Park. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy a relaxed and friendly day of photography.
More details to come soon.
The club competition on November 16 is another Open comp.
Open means any pictorial treatment of a subject which contains the element of good arrangement of composition and reflects the interpretation of the photographer.
