Tomorrow we go back to regular Saturday hours as well - 10:00 to 1:00.

Had a good vacation week - did a lot of photography. Now to do a lot of processing...

June 4 Is CW Day - Make Ready For Click West

June 4th - Hoyts Carousel La Premiere Cinema

The Big Event for WAPF members when Canon and Click West combine to show the best f he WA club competition photographer's work on the extremely big screen.

It is a pretty spectacular gala night - they d food and drink and show the entries into the various classes of competition - including Mono Architecture, Portrait, Macro, Landscape. Then they talk, and that's pretty spectacular too. Then they present the prizes...

Oh My Dear. The prizes are big. I know - we at Camera Electronic provide a large chink of them. So does Canon, Kimberley Expeditions, Fitzgerald's Photographic lab, and what looks to be a half dozen famous professionals.

I'm busy stuffing CE showbags for this. Cutting up the slices of blood sausage, sewing the tea cozies, packing the advertising pamphlets...all busy.

If you are thinking of entering your picture of the holiday in Fiji you are too late this year - entries closed in May - but you can still go along and have a very good time seeing the competition. It gets pretty good when the judges declare a tie in any category and they lock the two exhibitors into a cage with clubs and let them decide who wins by the oldest methods. It is a club event after all...

Any road, go along to the Canon Click West site or any site for a WAPF club and you will be directed to Click West deatail. June 4, Hoyts Carousel. I need to go back to packing the show bags because they have just delivered the gerbils and I need to find grass for them.

Click On Us - And Get A Surprise

A friend who follows these blogs contacted me via the Facebook system yesterday to tell me that he was getting a surprise when he tried to read the blog - it shuffled him off to a sex site.

Most annoying. And a bit of a professional challenge. After all, how can I compete with the various things displayed on a sex site - busty, dusty, dusky, or damaged - if my resources are limited to the contents of our photography shop. I realise that our staff have their charms but I am hesitant to uncover them...

Please rest assured that the management here have no interest in sex. The sales staff have no interest in sex. The repair technicians have no interest in sex. The writer of this blog has no interest in sex. We are moral and straight-laced and buttoned up to our chins in sensible woolen garments.

The answer will lie somewhere in the complex computer system that runs the web - someone somewhere has thrown the thing in and until the IT chap comes back and exorcises it you might get sex or gambling or cheap medications. And Nigerians. " Hello Dear, This is Precious Imbubu..." All you can do is keep the firewalls up and hope for the best.

Meanwhile, if you are running a bit low on hysteria, fraud, and Grumpy Cat, may I recommend an hour on Facebook? You'll never get that hour back in your life but you will get to see what a lot of your friends have had for lunch.
