 RAY MARTIN – A Photography Journey Veteran Journalist & Award Winning TV PersonalityRay Martin has been, what he calls, “a closet photographer” for over half a century. Paid to TELL the story – not take the pictures – Ray was always being told to “ put the damn camera down” by producers & tv cameramen at Four Corners & 60 Minutes. Thankfully, he didn’t. To prove it, there’s a catalogue of photographs, a number of exhibitions & a book with his pictures, published by Melbourne University Press a few years ago, called “Ray Martin’s World”. Martin says he’s like ‘The Man from American Express’ – he never leaves home without his camera! Photos from commercial planes at 37,000 feet have become a specialty. He’s got a million stories to tell of exotic places he’s been, and strange people he’s met; including some truly great photographers. What’s Ray Martin going to reveal ? Well, as they say in the news business …”Watch This Space”. Program 11.30am – 12:30pm  THE EARLY DAYS OF APS & BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY Graham Burstow OAMEFIAP FPSA FRPS FAPS PSQF Hon.FAPS is a renowned and celebrated Queensland street photographer. He has been seen frequently on the streets of the Gold Coast and Toowoomba over the past 70 years. Many of his images from those years are hanging in public spaces in both regions and in many other venues such as the National Library in Canberra. A published author of three books; Closer, Flesh and Touch Me with one more in the making. Graham will recount stories and adventures he has had over his photographic career. He is, and has always been prepared to do what ever it takes to get that shot. As Graham tells his stories, he will show us and explain how he captured those images. This will be a unique session with a talented and charismatic personality of the Australian photographic community. A session not to be missed. 9:00am – 10:00am  MOMENTS IN AUSTRALIAN PHTOGRAPHGY Dr.Martyn JollyHonorary Associate Professor, School of Art & Design, Research School of Humanities and the Arts The sixtieth anniversary of the APS is a good time to explore different ways of thinking about the history of Australian photography. As a photo historian previously involved in art schools and art galleries I come from a tradition where the story of photography in Australia is usually told through individual photographers or artistic movements.A recent book I co-wrote, ‘Installation View’, focussed instead on photography exhibitions, rather than individual photographers. This made me realize the importance of clubs, societies and groups to photography in Australia. However, their importance to the whole story has perhaps been overlooked. In a free ranging, informal, discussion I will look at some moments in Australia photography through the lens of the ‘group of enthusiasts’. 10:15am – 11:15am  10:00am – 10:15am John Hodgson EFIAP/b AV-EFIAP FAPS AV-MAPS ESFIAP HonFAP SAPS APS for Life – Short AV presentation.11:15am – 11:30am Libby JefferyMomento Pro Book Competition LaunchLibby will launch the APS Photo Book Awards, sponsored by Momento Pro.Register Best regards, 11:15am – 11:30am Stella Fava | Secretary Australian Photographic Society 02 9890 9795 secretary@a-p-s.org.auc www.a-p-s.org.au/ |
