SOME of the members of the Facebook group of Filipino photographers based in Melbourne have gathered together last 18 February at Hector Calara’s residence in Roxburgh Park to meet in person for the first time and to level expectations and exchange ideas. Facebook members are now at 40.
The group, started by George Gregorio and Jess Marasigan in January 2011, is composed of amateur and professional photographers who will share their photography talent and skills.
Among the initial activities planned were setting up of website, networking, inviting professional photographers for talk or training, exhibiting best photos via galleries, and raising funds for the group.
The group will hold its first activity called “Melbourne City Photo Walk” on 31 March 2012. Members will discover some of Melbourne’s best photo locations and learn some tips from in-house experts. The walk will start at Melbourne City’s laneways, photographic buildings and will end at the Yarra for the sunset shooting.
Anyone who’s interested may join the group at www. facebook.com/groups/filocameraclub/ or email filocameraclub@groups.facebook.com.
Would you please tell me how to join the club online?
