Peter Boalch repeated his slideshow and talk about the proposed trip to the Aran Islands on June 11th to 13th. Deposits will be accepted at the February meeting. So far 24 members are signed up for what promises to be an excellent adventure!
Conor Dowling will be attending the IPF Photoshop and HDR workshops in Athlone on the weekend of February 13th & 14th. A group of club members will car-pool for the event. Anyone interested should contact Conor through the club secretary via info@boylecameraclub.com.
Joe Kennedy presented this month's Motivation submissions on the theme 'Christmas'. A very fine collection of images, with appropriate 'musical accompaniment' was a feast for the eyes and ears.
Spencer Platt - "Affluent Lebanese drive down the street to look at a destroyed neighbourhood 15 August 2006 in southern Beirut, Lebanon."
The meeting closed with a presentation by Tony Murphy on the World Press Photo of the Year Awards with an emphasis on the work of Spencer Platt, who won the award in 2006 with a photo of Lebanese youths returning to their homes after the Israeli bombing of a South Beirut suburb. Platt's photo is considered one of the most influential images of the last decade and a discussion on the making of a number of iconic images from 2006 by top photo-journalists concluded the meeting.

Members are reminded that submissions for the WINTER COMPETITION should be sent to info@boylecameraclub.com before Sunday 31st January.
