Cape Town Photographic Society

The April meeting has come and gone and some members were surprised that the critique on the entries was placed in the hands of only one judge. This was not a council decision but one made by the president, who is mandated to make decisions on behalf of CTPS. Based on his experience, together with the recommendation of another council member, he felt Jenny Altschuler to be capable of making an intelligent and fair decision regarding the quality of members images as a result of her extensive photographic experience. It is not that we are going back permanently to the one judge system, but for the April meeting it was expedient to do so. We thank Jenny for her dedicated effort in looking at our images and commenting on them. At no time will everybody agree with the judge’s subjective interpretation but we must be mature in these matters and take from the judging that which helps us grow in our photographic literacy.
