This will be a unique session with a talented and charismatic personality of the Australian photographic community. A session not to be missed.  10:15am – 11:15amDr.Martyn Jolly Honorary Associate Professor, School of Art & Design, Research School of Humanities and the Arts Moments in Australian Photography 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’.  11.30am – 12:30pmRay Martin AM Veteran Journalist & Award Winning TV Personality A Photography Journey Ray 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”.  10:00am – 10:15amJohn Hodgson EFIAP/b AV-EFIAP FAPS AV-MAPS ESFIAP HonFAP SAPS APS for Life – Short AV presentation. 11:15am – 11:30am Libby Jeffery Momento Pro Book Competition Launch Libby will launch the APS Photo Book Awards, sponsored by Momento Pro.
