TUESDAY 3 NOVEMBER @ 7PM
HILLCREST SPORTS CLUB
YOU ARE INVITED TO LISTEN TO
SEAN WISEDALE - MOUNTAIN OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN
...SEAN'S CLIMB OF MT. VINSON, THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN ANTARTICA
Sean Wisedale is the first South African to climb all of the world's seven summits – come and hear how Sean and a team of six set out to climb the most remote mountain on earth. Drama ensues and two turn back even before reaching the continent. An onslaught of bad weather and high winds forces the team leader to return while three of the team push for the top. What makes this life tale so intriguing is that Wisedale as the filmmaker on the expedition loses two cameras to the frost, and is left with only one camera to capture the images – his trusty heavyweight Betacam affectionately known as “Chubby” … The imagery is spectacular, the continent of Antarctica as captivating as ever. A heart-warming story of triumph of the human spirit over adversity and celebration of success”.
Sean's bestseller 'Freeze Frame', the personal story of Sean's life and times as an adventure cameraman to the most hostile and photogenic wildernesses on Earth, will be available for purchase on the night as well as his 8-part DVD documentaries of the 7 summits. Please find more information attached and visit Sean's website www.seanwisedale.co.za.

PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION 2009!
As per the HCC AGM of the 20th of January 2009, we have LIGHTS, CAMERA AND ACTION for the annual HILLCREST CAMERA CLUB PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION 2009!
Gordon and I met with Photoworld, Hillcrest and Pick 'n Pay management last week and we managed to secure the Pick 'n Pay, Christian's Centre, centrecourt for our annual HCC photographic exhibition, kindly supported by Photoworld, in the centre, and Fuji.
You are all encouraged to partake in the exhibition to showcase your photographic talent through exhibiting your wonderful photographs that you have taken throughout the year. Details thus far are as follows:
* Saturday 5 Dec: 9.00am - 1.00pm - Exhibition open to the public (setup 8.00-9.00am - Gordon, Natalie & any other volunteers?)
* Sunday 6 Dec: 9.00am - 1.00pm - Exhibition open to the public
* We are being supported by Photoworld and they will be advertising Photoworld throughout the weekend at the exhibition and encourage you to support them for your prints and any other photographic requirements. The Fuji in-store photobook and online printing book, which are avaiable for viewing at Photoworld, are excellent mediums in which to showcase your photographic portoflio for the exhibition as well as prints (also a fantastic Christmas gift) - pop in there and have a look and they will be more than happy to show you more.
* Submit your best prints A4 - A3 in size at the next meeting if possible (as many prints as you like but please be reasonable as we do have limited space), mounted with your name at the back of the mount. If you submit prints later than the next meeting, it is no problem but will be up to you to please get them to Gordon who will select appropriate prints together with other committee members. Fujui photobooks will be accepted.
* Digital prints will also be welcomed as we are hoping to showcase them on a big/flat screen - Gordon will bring his laptop to the November meeting so bring your work on a flash drive or CD please
* We will be needing volunteers to be present on the day to answer any questions and keep an eye on the equipment - please put your names down at the next meeting - it would be nice if we could have a couple of people on 'duty' at any given time
* If you have any connections who would like to place a digital advert on the big screen, please let us know - an ad will cost them R100 and will go towards the cost of the exhibition - ads to be submitted to Gordon at November meeting please
Please come prepared to the November meeting and should you have any further ideas that you would like to share for the exhibition.
Yours in photography
