Tribute to the Late Bill Wisden MBE HonFRPS
Exhibition of Prints by the Late Bill Wisden MBE HonFRPS APAGB
Jubilee Library, Brighton from Monday 11 February to Saturday 23 February 2019
This exhibition is a celebration of the life and work of the distinguished Brighton photographer Bill Wisden MBE Hon FRPS.
Bill was a member of the Brighton & Hove Camera Club from 1954 until his death in January 2018 and in honour of his talent, achievements and generosity we as a Club wish to honour Bill’s work.
He will be remembered by many for his passion for photography and the amazing generosity of his time spent helping others to develop their own photography. He was always happy to give an honest opinion on a photograph and had the gift of immediately seeing the strengths or weaknesses of an image.
Whether it was in the dark room or later digitally, using Photoshop, he constantly pushed the boundaries and produced work that was well ahead of its time. Bill would refer to himself not as a photographer but as an image maker.
He won many awards and was well known internationally for his astute composition, humorous juxtapositions, use of colour and, later on, the digital manipulation in his images, creating, what he fondly called, “Wisdens”.
Amongst his many distinctions was that he was invited to become the youngest member of the London Salon of Photography in 1962.
A year later in 1963 he gained his Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society (RPS) and over the years he worked tirelessly to promote and improve the RPS by serving on numerous boards and panels.
In 2011 Bill was awarded an MBE for his services to the Arts.
This exhibition is only a small part of Bill’s photographic life and is a mixture of his revolutionary darkroom prints and the digital work that he came to embrace even though he once swore he would never go digital. “I’m too old and you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. How wrong he was! He was so ahead of what others were doing in the early days of Photoshop.
Brighton & Hove Camera Club wants this exhibition to be a tribute to a man who is still greatly missed and will continue to be missed by everyone who loved him and learned so much from him.

The RPS: DIG Southern Centre: Lecture 31 March 2019 Barry Mead FRPS ‘The Windows of your Mind’
Details of the next meeting of the Southern Centre at Greyfriars Community Centre
44 Christchurch Road, Ringwood BH24 1DW are given below.
Book Tickets on line http://www.rps.org/Home/
Sunday 31st March 2019
10.30 am to 4.00 pm
Doors open 10.00 am
Lecture: The Windows of your Mind by Barry Mead FRPS
Barry’s talk will illustrate the development of his computerised creative work from 2000 till now. As a Fine Artist who taught Art for 30 years, Barry says the ideas have always come more quickly than the techniques. The images he loves to make involve Fantasy and Sci-Fi with the influences of Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and children's stories. He uses images collected from many visits to the Venice Carnival and re-enactments. His methods are fairly simple, but it's the combinations of elements, textured effects and many layers in Photoshop where the magic takes place. The hope is that you will be inspired and go home with a desire to try it for yourselves.
Barry will present around 400 images showing his imagination at full throttle.

An Invitation from Chichester Camera Club
Members of your Club are cordially invited to Chichester Camera Club's eighteenth advanced members' exhibition to be held on Saturday, 19th January 2019 at the North Mundham Village Hall. The exhibition will be open between 10 am and 5 pm with refreshments, light lunches and teas available throughout the day. If anyone cannot make it on the Saturday, we will be open on the following day (Sunday) between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. We will also have refreshments available on that day.
Print exhibitors have had the choice of varying screen spaces with the freedom to display virtually any type of work they wish with no rules on size, subject matter technique, etc. whilst PDI workers are each allowed to have up to 4 images projected, again with no subject ruling. Based on our
previous, similar exhibitions, this freedom of choice has resulted in a considerable display of artistic talent. The day has also proved to be a great social occasion.
We hope you will be able to visit us and look forward to meeting you on the 19th January.
Your members may also be interested in another event involving the Chichester Camera Club - an exhibition exploring the history and images of the Club since its founding in 1893. It is being held at Chichester's new museum, "The Novium" and is getting rave reviews from all who see it. The exhibition will be there until March
