Weekly MCC News #15 – 01-May-2022

You can’t teach people photography, they’ve got to learn how to do it the best way possible for them. They can learn from looking at pictures… but they don’t really get intimate with the medium until they’ve made a few bad shots.  Cecil Beaton

 Calling All Female MCC Members
 Women Of Melbourne Camera Club Exhibition

Melbourne Camera Club is celebrating the women of Melbourne Camera Club in an exhibition inspired by International Women’s Day and Mothers Day. We are excited about the opportunity to showcase women in photography and bring together our female photography club members, both present and past. 

Members are invited to submit a maximum of 2 prints exploring the theme “Inspired by the women in my life” combined with a sentence or two about what International women’s day means for you. 

Prints are due to be dropped at the club on Thursday 12 May.
