a SPSA distinction by the society in 2017, which is a second lev-
el Portfolio Distinction awarded for producing “a body of work
that reflects his/her personal styles and photographic interest”.
She elected to reflect her interest in Street Photography, which
she described as “capturing the decisive moment of people’s
activities in public places”. Members on the current JAP course
experienced her enthusiasm for this photographic genre first-
hand during her very enjoyable presentation on PJ and Street
Photography.
The portfolio had to be accepted by five APS assessors, sitting
as a panel, and a portfolio that received distinctions (Honours)
from another society could not be entered. Evelyn could there-
fore not enter any of the panels that earned her FPSSA or APSSA
(Vers) as PSSA member.
