Weekly MCC News #20 – 05-June-2022 – Melbourne Camera Club

The photographer, even in fashion and portraiture, has to have a standpoint. It’s important to know what you stand for, no? Most people just take pictures but they stand for nothing. They follow trends and don’t know why. Peter Lindbergh

The club did well at the Interclub Nature Competition and we should be aiming to continue this with the Club Portrait Competition. Ruth would very much like some more entries (see below).

Camberwell Interclub Nature Salon

Congratulations to Tuck Leong who was awarded second place for his image Caladenia lobata in the Botany section of Camberwell’s inaugural Interclub Nature Salon.
