Greg Earl AFIAP, AAPS - Photography JudgeGreg is a self-taught photographer who began learning from books and magazines in his late teens, long before the days if internet courses. He purchased his first serious camera, a Single Lens Reflex (SLR), some 54 years ago. Greg joined the Bureau of Meteorology, initially training as a Weather Observer, then followed on in later years as a Technical Officer, using his photography skills as OIC of the Satellite Cloud Photography Department. Greg's photography has always moved with the times, from the days of black & white film and darkroom work to colour slides and colour film, and eventually to the digital age, which he has enthusiastically embraced. Greg has gained several international awards and gold medals for his work. Greg was a member of the Melbourne Camera Club for a short period in the late 1960s. He joined the Southern Suburbs Photographic Society ten years ago. He served seven years on their committee, with four years as their President, retiring in March 2019. Greg's knowledge and passion for photography also extended to running several training courses in digital photography as membership and fund-raisers for the club. Greg was awarded the Photographic Honour of Artist FIAP - Federation Internationale de L'Art Photographique (AFIAP), in 2018 and Australian Photographic Society Honours (AAPS) in recognition of his Photographic Skill and Artistry 2019.
