Adelaidės Lietuvių
foto mėgėjų klubo
Adelaide Lithuanian Amateur
Photo Club
Several Adelaide Lithuanians with an
interest in photography got together and established an amateur photo club. The aim was to help each other perfect their
work. At the first meeting on 18 October
1959, which was held at Vytautas Vosylius flat in Mile End the group produced its
guidelines.

The first president was Vytautas Vosylius
and the secretary Petras Snarskis. The
document was also signed by Kazys Požera, Alfonsas Budrys, Pranas Šatkus and Juozas Vebrys.
The Photo club organised several
exhibitions in Adelaide and also during the Australian Lithuanian Festival Days
as part of the Art exhibition. They
usually received over 50 works and in the 1968 exhibition had 95 on
display. The categories included Black
and white, colour, portraits and landscapes.
Not surprisingly members Alfonsas Budrys and
Vytautas Vosylius did exceedingly well in the competitions. Both were active in Australian amateur
photographic clubs as well.
The group was active until 1970.
