The President’sAddress

We are now into another year of UPPwith the AGM now well behind us andcircles continuing to send out the folios ona regular basis. The AGM was hectic for myself with theresignation of Gary Langley from the posi-tion of secretary, I had to organise thesecretarial side of the weekend as well.Other members would not have had anydetailed knowledge of the arrangementsand as I was the previous secretary I hadorganised it for several years, so it fell tome to pick up the “pen” again. I was notable to relax until the event was over.However all the reports that I receivedwere favourable and the two speakers werevery well received and their lectures en-joyed.

Irene Froy’s lecture was as to be expectedwith some lovely pastel images whichmost members would quite happily hangon their walls. Guy Brown’s talk was quitedifferent with a delve back into thetraditional methods of over 100 years agoand some very unusual and distinctiveimages using collodion and othertraditional methods. Both lectures were sodifferent that it did balance out theweekend when mixed in with our membersown works on the Friday evening and thegold label presentations in both digital andprint. I would like to thank all of the councilmembers for their help over the year andthe work of Ken and Ray in organising theannual judging of the gold label entriesand the presentation on the day. The CD’sthat have now been produced since 2000are always interesting to go back to andsee work from previous years and howfashions change, for photography is “fash-ion conscience” and that is very obviouswhen looking back at photographs fromyears ago. We must not forget though, that photog-raphy is a recording medium and the pho-to journalism aspect is very important.Can you all remember what your town orvillage centre looked like 30 years ago.With most people, they cannot, but refer-ence back to photographs taken at thattime brings back memories. That equallyapplies to photographs of your family,especially the children. When Shirley’sgrandmother died, they found in the loft apile of photographs under some rubbish.The photographs found were members ofher family most of whom had passedaway, so without the knowledge of hermother they would not have been identi-fied. Shirley is now the proud owner of aphotographic history of some of her family.

It would have been better if there had beensome identification on the rear of theimages. Do you do that?, and if not why not. Recently a small team from ChesterfieldPhotographic Society have been recordingthe major alterations and renovations thathave been undertaken on the market hall inthe centre of the Borough. The buildingwas originally built in 1857 and has hadprevious extensions and alterations. Thecurrent one has brought it up to date andwe took photographs of its previous useand we were given access into the buildingduring the building work. Finally we re-corded the opening and its current every-day use. We have now built up anextensive archive of images which willthen be deposited in the Council’s archives.

I have in the last few days been mount-ing nearly 100 images for an exhibitionwhich we will hang in one of the emptyshop windows in the town centre. I do feelthat this aspect of photo journalism is veryimportant and it is a community aspectthat most photographic societies can un-dertake in conjunction with their localcouncil. Membership of the society continues toslide as some members find other interestsand also old age catches up with us. I mustrepeat the comments that I have madebefore that the best way of getting newmembers is from introductions from exist-ing members, so please spread the word.

This year a new trophy was added to thosealready up for grabs at our annualexhibition. The People’s Choice is anaward originally thought of and kindlydonated by Monty Trent of c29. This award is won by the member whoseprint, on display in the exhibition, is the onemost voted for by the UPP members presentat the exhibition. Because this was the firsttime that the trophy was available wethought it might be a good idea to give anindication of how the voting went. There were 50 votes cast in total. Initially,we thought that this was not as good aresponse as might have been expected but,it turns out, our initial thoughts wereincorrect. The roll call indicated a count of82. Fifty votes out of an audience of 82would seem to be a low percentage but, werealised, a count of 82 doesn’t actually mean  an  attendance  of  82.  A number ofmembers are in two or more circles and

would have stood up to be counted onmore than one (sometimes on two or more)occasions. When the multiple stand-upping is taken into account, a vote of 50is probably quite a high percentage of themembers present. Prints from 12 different circles werevoted for and a total of 29 different printsreceived votes. That’s quite a wide-rangingchoice which, we think, indicates individ-uality and emphasises the difficulty thatthe exhibition judges have in deciding whoshould get the rewards.

18 prints received 1 vote each. 6 prints received 2 votes each. 2 prints received 3 votes each

2 prints received 4 votes: - C73 Closed for Winter - C73 Daffodil

But one print received 6 votes and thatwas The People’s Choice for 2013. Please watch this space for furtherinformation on next year’s exhibition.

Brian Hirschfield passed away on 21November 2013, at the age of 80, leavingAnn and children Kathryn and Michael. Brian joined UPP in November 1956, onreturn from RAF service in Singapore. Heinitially joined C18, the Circle of which hisfather was a member, and in doing so, hecreated possibly the only father/son mem-bership of the same Circle. From a quote in2003, he said of his joining ‘On my returnfrom Singapore, with a brand new PrakticaFX2, I thought I knew everything aboutphotography but promptly discovered thatI knew absolutely nothing! When I openedthe first box and saw the superb quality,composition and subject matter I thoughthow on earth am I ever going to manage tocompete with these?’ But compete he did,and went on to win many major awards inUPP and elsewhere over the many years tocome. Not only that, but he gained hisLRPS in 1974 and 10 years later his ARPS,in 1984. In more recent years, he was aprolific and successful exhibitor, both Na-tionally and Internationally, and succeededin gaining AFIAP and EFIAP distinctionsin quick succession. He was also awardedhis APAGB in 2003, which is given fordistinguished service to photography. Over the years, he was a member ofvarious Circles in UPP, including C12(large prints) and C35 (slides), but his reallove was for monochrome small prints andmost of his time was spent with C21 and inparticular, C29, which he joined in 1969and of which he became Secretary in 1972.However, just over a year later, he had tohand over the position due to being postedto Germany while serving in the RAF.Nonetheless, his commitment was such that

even while abroad and unable to receiveboxes, he maintained his membership of theCircle by sending notebook entries andprints to the then Secretary – by post, therewas no email then! In 1977, now back in theUK, he became Secretary of C29 again, andrescued the Circle from extinction after theprevious Secretary had got into seriousdifficulties with it. At the time, he was alsoSecretary of C21 and the RecruitingSecretary for UPP – quite a workload! Briancontinued as Secretary of C29 until October2002, a total of an incredible 26 years in thejob, as well as 15 years as Secretary of C21,much of that concurrently. Speaking as the present Secretary of C29,and a member of that Circle since 1987, Ican say that Brian’s stewardship of the Cir-cle was an example to us all and was inspir-ing, enthusiastic, generous and compreh-ensive. The high quality of his photography

was consistent and he set a standard thatothers sought to emulate. The Circle ran likeclockwork with him at the helm. He wouldensure that he addressed every memberindividually in his notes and would oftendip into his pocket to provide prizes forimpromptu competitions within the Circle. He also designed and paid for a veryspecial trophy for the Circle – a ‘Little Man’sitting on a plinth, which is awarded for thehighest scoring print every year. Anothermajor contribution to the Circle was theproduction of an annual magazine ‘The29’er’. This was heavily illustrated withpictures and summarised the Circle’sactivities over the year. He wrote variousfascinating articles for it, often with his ownstyle of wry humour, and it was apublication members always awaitedeagerly to receive. Brian was also an indefatigable worker inUPP administration. He spent 13 years onCouncil, firstly as Publicity Secretary andthen as Treasurer in 1984. He continued inthis post for 8 years, during which time hecomputerised UPP membership records bywriting his own programme, which wasstill in use after 3 decades. He was nominat-ed for Vice-President twice, and did takethe position for a short while before relin-quishing it, because ‘I am just a backroom-boy!’ He also wrote two very detailed

histories for UPP, the first a 51 page com-pre-hensive document covering UPP in gen-eral – copies of which are still available forpurchase – and the other the history of C29.Another significant contribution from Brianfor UPP was in 1986, when he presented aPresident’s ‘chain of office’ – again paidfor by him. Brian was presented with Life Member-ship of UPP at the AGM in September 2003.No one deserved it more and I can do nobetter than end this obituary with a quotefrom his acceptance speech. ‘Finally, after 47 years of very enjoyablemembership, a combined 41 years as aSecretary, 8 years as Treasurer and 13years on Council altogether, 163 Gold La-bels at the last count. 5 ‘Best Small Print’plaques, a fair number of Circle Certifi-cates, so many friends made that I cannotremember all their names and membershipat one time or another of 5 different Circles,where does that leave me? I will tell you –it leaves me a confirmed optimist - after all,you have to be an optimist if, at the age of70, you have sitting in the cupboard athome, another 250 prepared prints for theboxes and taking more every day!’ And so he did, until the very end. Aremarkable man indeed.

I must first of all thank Don Langford ofCircles 73 and 31/33/35 and formerly Pres-ident of the PAGB, who kindly completedthe examination of the accounts this year And for the fifth year running I’m delight-ed to report that we received more than wespent. The surplus didn’t quite reach thedizzy height of last year, which was excep-tional because of a change in the timing ofThe Little Man expenditure, but stillamounted to £673 when the budget hadsaid £250 based on the unchanged sub-scription rate. We did go over budget slightly on theAGM expenses and The Little Man, butotherwise expenditure was short, andsometimes well short, of budget, so mythanks especially to Council Members forcontinuing to economise where possible For my part, sending the subscriptionrequests by e-mail helped: UPP saved over200 second class stamps @ 50p, not tomention the paper and envelopes, and 35of you saved your 50ps by paying direct tothe Bank so the procedure will be the sameagain this year. At the same time, total income from sub I

scriptions was slightly better than forecast I had based the budget on 250 payingmembers – we actually had subs from 259,including some who left during the yearafter paying and some who joined late inthe year on ½ sub. However, on the ques-tion of membership numbers, 25 membersleft during the year, only replaced by 19,and although we’ve had 1 new membersince 30th June, we’ve already lost 11 -including one sadly deceased and 7 fromthe collapsed Circle 24 - so our total todayexcluding life members is 244. But we’ve now got approaching £9,000in the bank, and while we do still need torecruit more members the Council and Iare confident that the budget can stand afreeze on the subscription rate for at leastone more year. It was proposed to accept the accountsfor the year 2012/13 as presented, to leavesubscription rates unchanged for 2013/14and appoint Don Langford as AccountsExaminer. All were unanimously agreed.

day's shooting. However there are plentyof barns to point your lens at once the earlymorning light has gone. Most of the barnsare wooden and when they start to get oldare just left until they fall down. Earlymorning and late evening light reallybrings out the amazing colours which haveto be seen to be believed. For the 3 daysof the workshop we were leaving our motelbefore 5 am with breakfast at about 10 andthen a break to catch up on sleep aroundlunchtime. After a quick dinner at 5 pm wewere then out again in the landscape untilit was dark. Steptoe Butte is an iconic landmark,reminding us of Roseberry Topping herein North Yorkshire. Unlike RoseberryTopping there is a road and you can driveto the top. There was an hotel built at thetop in the late 1800s but it burnt down inthe early 1900s. On the drive to the top ofSteptoe Butte there are landscapes tophotograph with a few places where youcan pull off the road and park the car.

Colours of the Palouse

In the late spring of 2012 Guy and Ivisited the little known area of the Palouse.We had a couple of days in the area on ourown and then attended a 3 day workshopwhich was organised by a photographerwho lives nearby. I didn't realise when Ibooked our trip how few photographersknew about the area until I told peoplewhere we were going and was asked whereit was. Even some Americans that we metin Seattle hadn't heard about it. It is not anational park, and there is little in the wayof guidance to the area. The Palouse is a rich farming area of some3,000 square miles situated in the south eastcorner of Washington State spreading intothe south west corner of Idaho. The Palousehills consist of more or less random humpsand hollows. The Palouse is rather like Tuscany but ona bigger scale (as you might expect). Aswith parts of Tuscany it is a wheat growingarea and large areas of level land are rare.Unfortunately the towns cannot rival thesmall villages of Tuscany and could notoffer the wonderful little cafés andrestaurants to refresh ourselves after our
