 | In This Issue of eFocusDavid Wakeley Thank You Note From David Wakeley, Thank YouAs some of you may be aware ACS National Secretary and NSW Assistant Secretary, David Wakeley ACS recently needed to undergo surgery. David is now home from hospital and recovering well. "Thank you to all the members, colleagues, friends & wives who sent messages or called Marianne to check on progress during my hospital stay through most of December, even to the point of our wonderful leader, Ron Johanson, calling Marianne almost daily from Camerimage in Poland. I can tell you it gave us a great boost & just goes to show how this ACS family of ours continues to grow into the world recognised Society it is. Recovery is progressing very well. Thank you all." David Wakeley Thursday Night Drop In - JanuaryThe first Drop In for the year will be from 6pm Thursday 19th January at ACS HQ. Thanks to the dedication of David Lewis ACS, and to the many participants involved so far, these evenings continue to be very popular with the membership and hopefully 2012 will see them become even more so. This month, rather than one or two "attractions" we thought we'd make available an opportunity for any of our members to "show and tell". As most of you would be aware the evenings are very informal and relaxed so if you have a reel, a short film, some stills, a piece of interesting equipment or software bring it along. You don't need to have shot the most recent "Ben Hur" - a talk about a simple regional commercial or your experience with one of the multitude of digital cameras now available can be just as interesting to an audience of cinematographers with greatly diversified backgrounds. If you think you may have something of interest let David Lewis know just so he's up to speed. David Lewis If none of this appeals then just turn up as normal and enjoy the company of like minded cinematographers and associates for a few hours. We look forward to seeing many of you at the Thursday Drop Ins during the coming year. A Reminder - Mark Bliss Screening Q&AAs you would have read in the last National Short Ends cinematographer and ACS member Mark Bliss will host a screening of "Kooky" on 10th January at the HQ.
