Australian Photography and the American Rangefinder magazines both recently profiled Mercury.  Last year he addressed 1000 professional photographers in Las Vegas, 1500 this year at New Orleans, has been invited to speak in Ireland in January. He also conducts professional seminars around Australia.     Mercury\u2019s own work seems to be up-market portraits and groups, also product photography.  His website is at mega.com.au     We have asked Mercury to run a sort of workshop on Portraits, he has also suggested speaking on &#8216;Inspiration&#8217;.  The session will probably run for two to three hours.     The cost is very reasonable, nothing, thanks to generosity of a friend, and the Finley RS Club who are not charging us for the venue.  The club has a smorgasbord from 6pm, at $13 per head, and is reserving tables for our group.       I&#8217;ll be in touch shortly, to check whether any are likely to attend from your club.  It will help if we can get a rough idea of numbers.  Do hope to see some of you.    Other clubs in the region are being invited.     If anybody wishes to make a weekend of it we would organize a BBQ, with bit of boating etcetera on the Murray.  Mercury and his family will be holidaying here for two or three nights.       Best Regards,  Alf Green.     ph 03 5874 2322     getalf@hotmail.com  Finley &#038; District Camera Club.   Venue:  Finley RS Club, 63 Tocumwal Street.  A street map is attached.
