DEDICATION BRINGS SUCCESS

One of the most rewarding aspects of being involved in our club is the satisfaction of seeing a wide range of talents shine in so many ways.

Jasmine has overcome some quite acute health setbacks in her life but this hasn't in any way slowed her determination to succeed as a talented photographer.

Autism is often regarded as a negative but given the appropriate environment and right encouragement, all sorts of amazing outcomes may very likely emerge. 

Photography provides amazing opportunities for everyone to develop their creative and communication skills in so many ways.

By learning a few basic skills, gaining some confidence and exploring opportunities a whole new world can open up for those with passion and perseverance.

A great achievement Jasmine and we know there's a lot more to come.

WORLD PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY DAY

On Sunday the 27th of April a group of club members took photos with cameras they had made themselves or ones they had chosen from our collection of large format models.

Some from the first processing batch are shown here with more to come from the second darkroom session.

So far, the quality of the photos are really impressive.

ALBANY ANZAC SERVICES AND PARADE

The Albany RSL invited us to photograph the 2025 ANZAC events.   The last time we did this officially was in 2014 during the 'First Fleet Commemoration' shortly after ACE was formed.   Here's a few photos from 2025.

TIME TO CONSIDER A RESET

I think we're all aware that we live in an age of change and it's essential to try to keep ahead of the game to remain relevant and continue to build on our achievements.

My twelve year term as president will conclude at the end of this club year as I would like to concentrate more on developing the skills we have seen come through from our members and make sure they are given as much encouragement as possible to reach their full potential.

Working with people living with disability has been a real high-point in my time as president and the way so many of our members have developed not only their photography skills but the increase in self-confidence and social skill improvements have been outstanding.

Photography has established a benchmark in providing an ideal point of focus for building a strong sense of teamwork through co-operation and working towards a common goal for everyone concerned.

We're in the midst of our first bus trips for 2025 thanks to a generous grant from the City of Albany.

Everyone agrees that is a really relaxing break from the normal routine and a great chance to get some different views of our region.​​

Thanks to Albany Truck Hire for their excellent service.

Some of what we've been up to lately

March and April have been super busy with more than the usual run of community events being held where we provided video and still photography for the organisers.

Photo right- Photos and video of Paralympian, Ellie Cole at Retravision Stadium.

For several years we've photographed the North Albany Senior Highschool annual ball.

A very glamourise event showcasing some absolutely stunning and sometimes 'quirky' costume choices.

Always a well run and fun night for all involved including us. 

Shot a video of Malcolm Traill's fascinating talk on the history of the Albany Woollen Mills at the Albany Town Hall.

This is the beginning of a long-term project called Connecting Threads which brings together all the stories and historical items of this iconic local industry.
