Accredited judge, Graham Harris, awarded the club’s highest accolades upon members whose images captured the essence of urban environments with finesse and ingenuity.
Jan’s photo, View Under the Bridge, earned the Honour award, impressing Judge Harris with its monochrome treatment and unique perspective. Jan ventured beneath Brisbane’s Riverside Expressway to capture the snaking lines and repeating columns, offering a fresh interpretation of a familiar scene.
