& considering photographs. 

Welcome to the seventh Reframe-Refocus Photo Scene Victoria Newsletter! Getting ready for the new year edition! We are getting to know the scene and the people in it better. Now I'm on a couple of hundred mailing lists so you don't need to be. 

 

This letter sees us introduce a new section, collaborations. As an artist putting together big projects, i know i often need the help of others, say a series of people in the bedrooms, requires help from others. So it will be under Opportunities.

 

 So click the links and see the new.

 

Our goal is to reach as many people as we can and bring the photo community in Victoria together to know and experience all that we have. Each month our content moves to reframe-refocus.xyz for look buy, hire, labs and previous newsletters so that you can view a full list of what is here.
