Our most recent club competition was Movie/Song/Book title. The idea was to encourage our club members to step out of their comfort zones. I found myself struggling quite a lot with what to enter so chose a typical "me" photo. One I took of my sons years ago and titled it " You've got a friend in me" from the song from the movie Toy Story.

Movie/Song/Book Title
Triptych Images
Triptych: A set of three images or artworks meant to be appreciated together.
Quilt Patterns
A dear friend of mine is a quilter. Not like the kind of quilts you imagine when I say the word "quilter".
I should actually call her an artist. She uses cloth to make the most beautiful works of art. The following images were inspired by her beautiful art.
I use macro photos that I have taken of Paua shells and crop them into the shapes I need to fit. I know that abstract photos might not be everyones first choice, but I love the patterns and the movement in the colours that can be found in Paua shells.
Kiwiana
Kiwiana: Items or artefacts relating to or produced in New Zealand.
Our first photo club competition of the year was Kiwiana. One of the foods I chose to photograph is a candy that is called " Jaffas". There are stories of how people would take these round candies to the movies and roll them from the back of the cinema to the front. With this in mind I decided to set up my candies to look a bit like the seats in a movie cinema.
When I was buying this bag of Jaffas, the person who was bagging my groceries dropped the bag and the result of dropping the bag was just one of these candies was damaged. I loved how the damage in the candy made it stand out and be a little different from all the others.
