20.01.2022 We are excited to share our ‘20th Analogue Photography Exhibition’ this year will be a virtual one! A first ever for the Analogue Photography Group! ‘A Covid compromise’ is our response to the COVID 2020 year that we’ve had. Our members usually exhibit beautifully hand crafted silver gelatin prints. Also, some members make unique prints created by alternative processes. Members will instead exhibit scanned prints & negatives of their analogue photography on the Melbourne Cam...era Clubs website. The opening date of the exhibition is this Thursday November 12 at 7.30pm. Club members will be sent a zoom link, and we plan a YouTube live stream for anyone else who’d like to join us.

16.01.2022 The Cyanotype process uses a mixture of iron compounds, which when exposed to UV light and washed in water oxidise to create Prussian Blue images. Wendy Currie is exhibiting her cyanotype work 'Spiced gum leaves' in the 20th Analogue exhibition (link in bio) and shares insight into her print making process. Wendy says" This is a wet cyanotype photogram, where after coating the paper, I placed gum leaves on top, soap bubbles and sprinkled turmeric, chilli powder and salt. Exposed the print for approx. 3 hours as it was overcast and there was some rain. Washed in water for 15 minutes & hung to dry." Thanks for sharing Wendy

10.01.2022 Join us this Thursday, for our virtual darkroom exhibition to be opened by the uber creative Melbourne photographer @zo_damage Posted @withregram @mcc_darkroom Thank you to Zo Damage for accepting our invite to open our 20th Analogue Photography Exhibition, ‘A COVID Compromise’. We look forward to your talk. #Repost @zo_damage with @withregram LONG POST ALERT Tell ya a secret. ... When I finished my 365-day project and the dust had settled from all the exhibitions and Damage Report launch and stuff, I was overwhelmed by a complete sense of inadequacy, and subsequently a prolonged period of depression. What could I do after that epic adventure? How could I create? It was doubly impacted as I truly love the underground and emerging live music scene and community, and felt this sense of inadequacy was a sort of betrayal, as nothing I was photographing connected with me. This led to my deep dive into film photography. I have not spoken of this publicly before, and am very excited (and nervous) to have been invited to share my analogue journey with you as guest speaker for the opening of the @melbourne_camera_club "Analogue Photography Group" exhibition. It is the 20th anniversary of the APG group show and I am very humbled to have to opportunity to open the event. You are of course invited. It's on Thursday 12 November 2020 at 8pm. Keep an eye out here and on the Melbourne Camera Club socials for links to Zoom (members) and the live YouTube stream (scary) for non-members.
