President’s Column – August 2025

NPSNZ have an exciting opportunity to be a part of the World Press Exhibition at Takina in Wellington in September. We will be able to exhibit images digitally on a large screen. To keep this a simple process, we are looking to use the photos from our own last two exhibitions, The Colour of Nature and Black and White. We will be seeking permission from the photographers prior to setting up the exhibition. Simon Woolf will be hosting his Wellington field trip at the same time as the exhibition and a visit to the exhibition will be included. Thank you, Simon, for organising both of these for us.

It has been good to see the last two workshop well attended. I am working on a couple more workshop before the end of the year. One will be on how to read a photograph and provide feedback on it. Watch this space.

As you know we have been having problems with presenting our monthly meetings on-line. We have just purchased a new laptop that will cope with the large file size of our guests’ presentations as well as beginning to change over to using Microsoft Teams for online members. Teams will also let us record presentations and make them available on YouTube after the meeting. Bear with us as we make this transition. 

As a committee, we would like to see members’ profiles updated with a photo of yourself or, if a joint membership, a photo of both members. This will help with getting to know each other a little better, especially with many members living throughout New Zealand now. Details to help with adding a photo are included in this newsletter.

Thanks to Robyn for organising this year’s Cass Mid-Winter trip. I enjoyed the photography as well as gathering with members on the trip. The two photo below are from the trip.

A warm welcome to new members Annikka Pugh from Westport and
