Hi Everybody, The ASPI Easter exhibition was another success, with over 800 punt-ers turning up for a perv. It looked wicked, with lots of space between exhibits. Meanwhile, back in the real world, reality continues its onward march. A good example of this is the announcement by the Treasurer, Ms Susan Brereton, that she will be retiring at the end of the financial year. As Sue is also the Membership Secretary, her departure will create a big gap in administration. ASPI will implode with-out someone to fulfil these 2 vital roles. Think about it. All financial members are eligible to volunteer for these positions. Otherwise, ASPI will die. 'Ordinary members ' are also needed to join the committee of management. I hope ASPI does continue, as the committee has appointed a judge for the 'Cup' weekend Acquisitive Exhibition.

Cup Weekend Exhibition – Mini Exhibition Theme

Cup weekend may seem a long way away but it is amazing how fast time flies. It is for this reason that we are giving you plenty of time to start working on at least one piece for the mini exhibition. This year the theme will be:

“Follies” If you want some ideas of what this could entail then just consult your nearest dictionary and let your imagination do the rest!

Busy Clickers!

(Phillip Island Camera Club)

The beginning of the new decade 2010, heralded a number of changes within our club: a new starting time of 1.30pm to allow for workshop activi-ties; the launch of our new PICC Member Handbook (thanks to Dianne Davy); and the restructure of our monthly Club Competition to include Nov-ice, Open and EDPI (Electronic Data Projected Image) categories.

With high hopes of bettering our ranking in the VAPS InterClub Competi-tion, 16 members’ work has been submitted in the three above-mentioned

categories, for this annual judging event. When assessed, points from these 30 photos provide a ranking of participating clubs across Victoria.

Community involvement continues to be a growing part of our Club activities. The Cape Paterson Aquathon, Wonthaggi 100 Years Birthday celebrations and organising a Phillip Island Camera Club exhi-bition at the new Inverloch Community ‘Hub’ have kept our members busy. The installation is open free of charge to the public from 9am – 5pm each day till the 26th April. We are very excited as this opportu-nity is pushing each individual’s comfort zone. The requirement for us each to produce an ‘Artist State-ment’ helped us to consolidate our purpose and passion for photography.

Members who liaised with the Knox Camera Club recently, were able to share our list of ‘Photographic Gems’ developed last year over an enjoyable weekend’s shooting. We look forward to the return of Fos-ter CC in May, who are following up on Island sites not covered during their visit early last year.

Some exciting opportunities are coming up over the next few months: portrait workshop with a local band to create a CD cover for their latest album; investigating the production of PICC T–shirts; designing Philip Island photo placemats for a local restaurant; and investigating Grant Application opportunities to further develop what we can offer members and the community.

Easter Exhibition Update

“Quality work”, “great display”, “lovely exhibition”. These are just a few of the comments we received from some of the 800 plus viewing public so well done everyone. Although the number of entries was a lot lower than normal the quality certainly wasn’t. So firstly I would like to thank those members who did put in the effort to exhibit and also to volunteer their time to either set up, take down or help during the exhibition. A very big thank you to Bill Binks, Keith Steward, John Adam, Dianne & Mark Davy, Paul Bannister, Susan Brereton, Marian Quigley, Wilma & Keith Payne, Pauline Grotto and Peter Walker for their help in setting up and/or dismantling the exhibition. We are lucky to have such a dedicated team of volunteers. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the many members who volun-teered a couple of hours over Easter to sit behind the front desk and welcome our visitors, process sales and answer any queries. Also, a big thank you to Jenny Skewes and Geoff our webmaster for taking photos, some of which will be on our web site soon. In case you haven’t heard, here are the winners of the people’s choice awards; I have also included the runners up. Best 2D John Adam - Runners up are Bill Binks & John Adam again Best 3D Pauline Grotto - Runners up are Lois Green twice Best Photo Hayley Justice - Runners up are Hayley again & Val Polmear Congratulations to John, Pauline and Hayley. Well done. Also, congratulations to the 3 winners of the raffle. All were locals including our very own Gillian Arm-strong who won the camera. Well that is all for the Easter Exhibition. It is now time to start working on your creations ready for Cup Weekend.

Happy creating Diana

Ibis Writers Workshop

at

Wonthaggi Historical Society Railway Station Museum

26 May 2010, 10am – 3pm

A local historical society can be seen as a musty old place filled with miscellaneous parapherna-lia from past eras that have lost their meaning. Or it can be seen as a place of treasure and wonder if only we know how to enter and use it.

Writers – whether you are novelists, biographers, historians, poets, playwrights, memoirists – are invited to participate in a workshop offered jointly by Ibis Writers and the Wonthaggi Historical Society which aims to show the richness and texture of a place that lends itself to Story. Gill Heal (playwright, theatrical adventurer), Carolyn Landon (memoirist, oral historian) and Petrea Savige (poet) will run a one day workshop to introduce writers in the Bass Coast area to possible uses of the archive. Gill will aim to demonstrate how an inner landscape provides meaning and context. Petrea will convey her response to certain artifacts in the museum and use them as metaphor to distill deep meaning. Carolyn will focus on the language of the early newspapers and how it can be used to create immediacy and authenticity in storytelling. There is much more that writers will discover during the day using the different aspects of the archive – through demonstra-tion, hands-on activities, discussion, writing and sharing. Venue: Railway Station Museum, next to Safeway, Murray Street, Wonthaggi on Wednesday 26 May 2010, 10am to 3pm Cost: $10 (includes lunch and a few goodies to take home). Bookings: Phone Marian Quigley on 0430274666 by Monday May 24

This is a Wonthaggi Centenary Event.

Waiting

‘The Ripple’ on the Inverloch Inlet, 1908

The Inlet a plateau of grey slate edged by the breakers’ white froth Water slaps at poles of the jetty seagull glides towards the shore The Ripple rests, sails folded, covered pendulums of the masts move to the waves’ rhythm They wait. The breeze flirts with the ribbons of the ladies hats plays with frills around smooth necks slides to the deck on the folds of long skirts. He sits on the cockpit, mouth organ to his lips he plays for the girl he loves Her eyes on the water, in its mirror she sees the other man’s face An old tune born in the country of their parents drifts over the ocean, soaks into hot sand. They wait for the change.

Don’t miss this wonderful demonstration by Ev Hales

light on watercolour painting,

when working with other mediums.

she has acquired from her recent travels

through the outer reaches of Northern Australia

Cicero,Cicero,Cicero,Cicero,

Ancient Roman orator, writer and statesman (106-43BC) in an essay

“Concerning Old Age” had the following stern words to say: “But it is our duty…..to resist old age; to compensate for its defects by a watchful care; to fight against disease; to adopt a regimen of health; to practise moderate exercise; and to take just enough food and drink to restore our strength and not to overburden it. Nor, indeed, are we to give our attention solely to the body; much greater care is due to the mind and the soul; for they, too, like lamps, grow dim with time, unless we keep them supplied with oil. Moreover, exercise causes the body to become heavy with fatigue, but intellectual activity gives buoyancy to the mind……(sometimes) old men (are portrayed as being) characterized by credulity, forgetfulness, and careless-ness, which are faults, not of old age generally, but only of an old age that is drowsy, slothful and inert.”

It has always been my own belief that the challenge of

attempting to create original art, in whatever medium,

helps keep mind and soul in good order. Cicero

wrote over two thousand years ago. The more things

change, the more they stay the same!

John Adam

Price of gas in France

A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre.

After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings, and made it safely to his van. However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied, ‘Monsieur that is the reason I stole the paintings.'

I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh.' See if you have De Gaulle to send this on to someone else. I sent it to you because I figured I had nothing Toulouse.

The internet provides us with a giggle from time to time…….

Painting and Photography contributed by John Adam Man Ray

I must relate an amusing, if paradoxical, anecdote about Man Ray, the photographer and friend of all the artists of Montparnasse. One day I went to his studio. The walls were covered with hundreds of photo-graphs of such disparate objects as pins, springs, screws, cubes cones. Cylinders, dummies, etc. for which he had used a variety of carefully chosen lighting-effects. However, at the moment Man Ray was not working on photographs but on a paint-ing in the most lovely colours. “I suppose you have taken all these photos,” I remarked, “so as to understand painting better?” “No,” he replied-and he was speaking truthfully-”I am painting in order to under-stand photography better.” By Michel George-Michel in From Renoir to Picasso—Artists I have known.

SILVERFISH SUMMER by Phillip Ireland the moth floating in my moth soup flat out , symmetrical and adding flavour floating Later I drank that moth Eating it , drinking it At the same time It tasted like lolly water Silver fish Drowning in the dunny Floating Like dead gods Waiting patiently For the flush Of excitement and the chance to travel Silver fish Dying in oil paint Stuck in the tacky Surface of a Tacky painting Eye candy Fatal for some Silver fish Crushed into the painting Like Caravaggio's Crushed fireflies Waiting to die For someone Else's art Clingy silver fish Clinging madly To the curtains And carpet Dying easily On the ground

The spider floating Before my eyes Suspended Heading south It came from that Hole in the ceiling I tell the shop- assistant As it lands and darts Across the counter Where did it go She asks Its a long summer poem I tell her Full of insect life Webs of intrigue And moth soup Will that be all? She asks

I'll keep you in the loop And some flies Enticed to their death By demons With honey traps Success unlimited If you can live with That many dead flies Its death in custard And many snails Died by mistake Under my feet Their shells Smashed to pieces Without intent Instantaneous.

Art in Public Places

In the main street of Wycheproof (the town where the railway line goes down the middle of the main street/highway) an old petrol station forecourt has been turned into a wonderful outdoor gallery. The artist welds scrap farming and railway remnants into wonderful sculptures. Open at all hours. Photo by Elizabeth Shaw

A BLUES TRAVELLER’S TALE OR HOW I WON A JACKPOT BEFORE VEGAS by Marian Quigley Sitting waiting for the Vegas connection in Dallas when a stranger approached. 'Wow - a Robert Johnson T- shirt. This girl knows her music!' The man behind peered curiously at my new Memphis purchase. 'Let me show you something!' The stranger drew a business card from his wallet. 'Read the title first'. Somewhat bemused, I obliged. 'Now read the names on the signpost'. Left of the title ‘Crossroads Bassets', a long eared dog sat beneath a signpost bearing the names 'Three Forks' and 'Greenwood'. The man behind was puzzled. 'Well, ‘Three Forks’ is ....' 'The place where Robert Johnson* was murdered’, the stranger proclaimed. 'The Blues legend - though it was Clapton that made him famous'. 'Yeh, Clapton's great', I said. At this, the Basset breeder grew even more excited. 'She likes Clapton too! Jackpot!' He flourished his wallet again, this time placing a green Fender guitar pick in my hand. Then, wishing us a good trip, he turned and wheeled his suitcase away. Guess all I need now is a guitar and some lessons … Talent? I’ve already been to the Crossroads of Highway 61/49. *According to myth, the legendary blues musician Robert Johnson (1911-1938), was poisoned by the jealous hus-band of a woman he began seeing during a stint at the Three Forks juke joint in Greenwood, Mississippi. He suppos-edly gained his talent by selling his soul to the Devil at midnight at the crossroads of US Highway 61 and 49 in Clarksdale. Johnson’s music was first released as a compilation by Columbia Records in the 1960s. Though he only wrote 29 songs, he has had an enormous impact on the world of music. Many consider him the father of modern rock and roll. Eric Clapton has been so influenced by Johnson that he released two albums devoted to his music in 2004: ‘Me and Mr Johnson’ and ‘Sessions for Robert J’(cd and dvd).

Exhibition Coordinator A fabulous opportunity has arisen for one or more members of ASPI to coordinate the two art exhibitions we hold every year. This can be a shared role with different people taking on one or more of the tasks necessary to run a successful exhibition. At least one person must be a committee member as all the organising is done with the committee; others can help out when needed. Some of the tasks required include the following; Typing – updating entry forms, booking the hall and information display space at Newhaven, contacting emergency

services and sponsors, updating our risk management document, raffle signs, certificates, invitations to open night etc.

Organising the raffle prizes – purchasing, display, drawing of the raffle and notifying the winners Stands and Plinths – monitor this equipment to ensure it is in good repair, organise painting of the plinths at least bi-

annually. Catering – organise food for volunteers setting up and dismantling exhibitions along with the opening night for our Cup

Weekend Exhibition. This includes bar waiters. Judge – assist with choosing, contacting and organising a judge for cup weekend Setting up and dismantling the exhibition – ensure there are sufficient volunteers to cover specific tasks – desk, receiv-

ing entries, setting up screens, hanging, putting up signs and labels Speaker – organise a speaker to open the cup Weekend Exhibition as well as provide thank you gifts for the speaker and

judge. Advertising of exhibitions There are several other tasks to be done but these along with the above, are listed with all instruction in our exhibition manual. Most forms and correspondence have templates and only need minor change such as dates, theme etc. Why not give me a call if you want more information or if you are interested in helping out in some way. At our AGM in August I will be stepping down from the committee so how about offering to give your committee a helping hand. Remember, many hands make light work.
