An announcement from MSM President Rhys Allen

Dear Silver Mine members and friends,

It is with some sadness that I write to inform you I am resigning my position as President of the Melbourne Silver Mine. Since the arrival of our daughter 9 months ago, my time and energy has been directed purely in her direction, and with a very busy 2010 planned for myself and the family, I felt it would be too much of a stretch to continue on with the MSM. As you will probably know, at the last AGM we expanded the committee dramatically, and this leaves me confident that the management of the Mine’s activities is in good hands.

I’d like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all who have been a part of the Melbourne Silver Mine journey thus far. Committee members and flickr group moderators both past and present, and of course the general membership all have my thanks; it has been a pleasure working with you all.

My involvement with the mine is of course not over, I will continue to be a member and a part of whatever fun photographic times the MSM throws our way. I’m certainly looking forward to seeing you folks out and about at photo-walks and in philosophical photography discussions over a beer or two.

A formal election to fill the position will be held with membership later this year, however in the meantime, Andrew Cosgriff, current Vice President, will be filling my role. I’m sure you will give Andrew the same support you have given me over the years.

Thanks again, and hope to see you at the Australia Day meet.

Regards,

Rhys Allen

Well what can I say, it wasn’t my first choice for the #2 of the series but recent events have forced me to push it forward.

Kodachrome: A Eulogy.

Written by Matthew Joseph & Rhys Allen

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn the passing of a dear, dear old friend, a neighbour, a son, a brother, a father, a grandfather and a creepy uncle you only see at Christmas and who can’t look you in the eye any more. We mourn Kodachrome with few surviving relatives: nephew Portra, brother T-Max and “special” second cousin Elite Chrome. We mourn Kodachrome, “made by God and Man”.
