A documentary not to be missed is "China Love" which is about the pre wedding industry in China. It follows Chinese and Australian participants as they navigate love and family in the lead up to the most important ritual of Chinese society. This photography doco is absolutely fascinating and gives us an insight into an extremely lucrative industry, with one business alone worth $80 billion! We've all been working in the wrong industry! You can catch "China Love" on ABC iView until 13 May 2021 ....... highly recommended.
IMPROVING THE MEETINGS David Jenkin and I discussed trying to streamline the judging a bit more by just having one slide per entry. with image title and award, plus the name of the maker if the award was a Highly Commended or Honour. I don't really want to hurry the judge up as it is their comments/feedback that we are all there to listen to. If anyone has a better idea, let us know. We'll also try to make the Zoom experience slicker, with better integration of the presentation and speaker voice. CARSHOW The details of the 28th March Carshow & Model that Rocky was speaking about on Monday are in an earlier posting. I will be going to this and hope to see many of you there. We can't let Rocky get all the good photos and win all the Honours!! 😊 Well done Rocky on Monday night - 3 Honours and 1 Highly Commended! WEBSITE UPDATE & NEWS The IPS website has been updated with galleries for Competitions #1 and #2. The News blog has also been updated. I'm interested to
