Our judge for the KCPS 2015 Spring Salon last night was Fred Wotton APSNZ.
The images which received either Highly Commended or Honours can be seen in the 2015 Spring Salon Gallery which is now online.
Special congratulations to brand new member Alison Wills-Olsen, who gained a Highly Commended in her first salon entry with the lovely image below.

Yes, we know it’s Labour Weekend and you are probably out and about, or even away.
But fight your way through that traffic and get to the Otaihanga Boating Club by 7:30 pm on Monday to see Fred Wotton judge the Spring Salon entries, and show some of his own work.
In other news:
Congratulations to Gary Moncrieff and Chrissy Garlick who had images selected for the Mahara 2015 Arts Review exhibition currently on, until 1 November, at the Mahara Gallery in Waikanae. Check it out.
The following were the entries selected and submitted. It’s pleasing to see that there were 14 different images from 14 members – an indication of the increasing strength of our club.

Digital Projected
The online entry form is now available – via https://kcps.org.nz/salon-entry-form/ or direct at http://jotform.co/KCPS/bestofyear. Online entries close at 5 pm on Monday 9 November.
Each member can enter one digital image and one print. There are no “grades” for this end of year competition.
Each image entered must have been entered into one of the four Salons held during the year, or be fundamentally based on it (for example, small improvements in line with judge’s comments at the original competition are acceptable).
The Best of Year entries will be judged by John Boyd at our gala end of year function on Monday 23 November starting at 6:30 pm, at the Otaihanga Boating Club. Details have been emailed to all members. Please pay online if possible, or by cash to Treasurer Jo Goudsblom at a meeting. Jo will have tickets available at all meetings, starting with the meeting on Labour Day Monday.

≈ Comments Off on KCPS Speaker – Stephen Rowe
The main speaker for the KCPS Meeting on 12 October will be Stephen Rowe (BA, DipPhot, MFA), from the Photo School in Raumati.
Stephen has a wide range of experience as an editorial and portrait photographer for magazine stories and book covers, and has also worked as a photography technician/tutor at Massey University.
His exhibition, “The New Rugby” (a documentary photography project that looked at the changes in rugby since it became a professional sport and how those changes mirrored the societal changes in New Zealand since the 1980s economic reforms) started at The Dowse, Lower Hutt, 2003, then toured nationally. Images from the project are held in the Alexander Turnbull Library.
For his MFA final exhibition (ATM, 2008) Stephen produced near life size images of Automated Teller Machines. Devoid of the usual text, these images called into question the ubiquity of branding and the homogeneity of a global consumer culture where words become replaced with symbols.
