Bag a wrinkly to win the comp!

17 February 2009 | johnboy

John Hargreaves has announced you’ve got a week to get your entries in to the “Life’s Reflections” photographic competition.

“Life’s Reflections is a photographic competition that challenges perceptions of older people. It’s about recording the energy and contributions of Canberra’s seniors”, said Mr Hargreaves.

Finalists and selected images will be showcased during ACT Seniors Week, which is conducted from the 15th to the 22nd of March 2009.

“We are looking for images that show older people as being very much part of our community.

If that floats your boat there’s more information online.

It seems I’m too young to model for this. How ageist!

: P

Now I’ll never be a senior model …. I suppose Greg in Ragless Circuit won’t want to go out with me now, huh?

I’m going to visit Hargreaves armed with a camera..

“promotion and publicity initiatives associated with positive aging in the ACT”

Is there such a beast as “negative aging”? Doesn’t that mean getting younger?

Inappropriate: That seems quite fair, actually. That one doesn’t even let them use it for anything other than promoting the photo comp itself or “positive ageing in the ACT”.

“promotion and publicity initiatives associated with positive aging in the ACT” is open to a lot of interpretation. It reads to me that the ACT Office for Aging could use it for anything they do, as it’s unlikely they wouldn’t do anything that isn’t “associated with positive aging in the ACT”.

I would like to see the negative ageing in the ACT.

This again reads like someone who forgot to proofread “…positive publicity initiatives associated with ageing in the ACT.”

maybe old canberran could submit his photos from times past – they are definitely Life’s reflections…

I dunno Dan, technical ability is what gives you the chance to capture the great photo, it’s not the great photo in and of itself.
