October Coffee Break

A few snaps from the last coffee morning at Koast Cafe, Mooloolaba. There was a good turn out and plenty of interest in our special guests for the day.

Lorraine (below) from Photo Mounts and Albums managed to squeeze in a display between the coffee cups and cake and was available to answer any questions about the products.



Deborah Groves from Helping Hands gave a rousing talk about her Photographic and Aid work in Cambodia.


The coffee breaks are held on the first Tuesday of each month and are open to all Professional Photographers. If you'd like to be on the mailing list for reminders and to find out the latest location, just leave a comment below. If you have any feedback or suggestions, I'd love to hear those in the comments too.

Next month: Tuesday November 3rd at One on LaBalsa 9 - 11am. Yes, it's Melbourne Cup Day. Who wants to organise a sweep?

Cheers
Debbie

Photographer's Coffe Break

Sunshine Coast Professional Photographers' Coffee Break

Our next morning tea is just around the corner and they keep getting bigger and better. This month we have a special guest and a product display.
Deborah Groves was the organiser of morning tea's when she was a local wedding photographer based in Caloundra. In recent years she has moved to Cambodia, started her own NGO to assist a small local village outside Siem Reap and supports herself with a very successful commercial photography venture. Come along and see and hear some of what works for Deborah.

Lorraine from Photo Mounts and Albums will be displaying their latest products and she will be available throughout the morning to answer any questions. If you can't make it for the whole morning, pop in for 10 minutes and say G'day and have a look at the display.

Coffee Break

The gloomy weather didn't dampen the spirits of Sunshine Coast Professional Photographers attending the July morning tea. Of the 20 or so photographers in attendance, Hing was the only one to have a camera available to take a couple of snaps. Thanks Hing! We had a good cross-section of Event, Commercial, Wedding and Portrait photographers turn up to network, chat, share, meet new people, compare equipment and suppliers and discuss the pros and cons of selling the files. Actually, I don't know what they all talked about as I had to leave early for a job.

Cheers and hope to see you at the next one.

Future of Photography meeting

Hi to all photographers on the Sunshine Coast

The future of photography is something that should be of interest and concern for all of us.

On the 15th of June I am trying to gather as many photographers as possible for a presentation that I believe will open the eyes of everyone who works in photography regardless of how long you have been in the industry.

As photographers on the Sunshine Coast we are incredibly lucky, we work in a profession that we have a passion for in a location that is second to none, moving forward into 2009 and beyond it would be naive for any of us to consider that our industry will not be affected by the economic environment, industry change and in particular -competition.

This is a break even night, the three presenting photographers are giving their time. The attendance cost is $30 and covers the room hire and meal , it is possible that the fee will reduce if numbers exceed expectations.

As someone who has worked in this industry for over thirty years I would encourage you to attend because I think the next 10 years are going to see more industry change than I have seen in the previous 30.

To attend call me on 54456855 or email ross@eason.com.au
