The AWEX compile a DVD for distribution and publish images on their web site. As has been said it is a public exhibition, and woodturning in general needs all the publicity it can get.
Winners have also already posted images of their items elsewhere.
I cannot see it as being "rude". Nearly all that I know regard the exposure as a good thing and further how can they expect to sell their pieces if they are not in the public domain.Russell (aka Mulgabill)

Ok let me try clear this up. And Id start by saying that Im not having a go at anyone here.
and most people that know me know I say what I think.
like I said I think it's rude. That is what I think.
If you are going upset about entry prices to enter events and I don't just mean this one I mean any of them.
I say have a think about the over heads that the people running the event centres have to pay.
and don't look at it the the space of the one event. Power, heating, cleaners, it all adds up when you do the maths over a yr. And think about the ones that help out at events and do all the things that the public don't see, the setups the pack ups.
Id say $15 to $20 is not that much in this day and age not when you know it's some shows are only on once a yr and if you get enjoyment out of it.
most turners spend more than that on sandpaper in a moth or 3x that on a good polish.
It's no secret that I like to go to most of the woodturning events out there why Because I Get enjoyment out of going and seeing old mates and making new ones.
I am one for trying to get woodturning out there. Anyone that's seen me in the last 6 months knows that.
( sorry a little bit of a joke for the ones that have seen me) so I'm not saying that sticking the pics up here was a bad thing I'm just saying may after the even may have been a better time to do it.DANGER!!!!I'm Dyslexic Spelling may offend!!!!!

Gday everyone as a person that has had some involvement In the exhibition for the last 12years I don't see a problem with Posting pics on line as it might encourage people to go and Have a look and even enter next year and that is what the Exhibition is all about entries and the promotion of woodturning
As for entry into the exhibition $5 is nothing it is not the purpose Of the exhibition to make money the purpose is to make enough to Keep the Exhibition going we are lucky there still is an exhibition there was a chance it wasn't going to exist anymore so go and support it instead of bagging it because some volunteer didn't use commen sense.

Perhaps someone else has some images that they may like to put up, to show those that cannot attend, the quality of work that is at the exhibition.????
They are even asking on WOW what's happening at AWEX which is not a good look.Russell (aka Mulgabill)

Pics make all the difference here for me. It would make a big difference as to whether i might go to an event or not.
If I was putting stuff on show I would want as many pics as possible out there to promote my work (hoping my work was promotable lol)
pretty poor show making kids pay full price. This may have been a cheaper show than most, still if I had gone the day before I would have turned up with 3 kids - ouch

I've just been and really enjoyed seeing the work on display. Really fantastic work and inspiring to me, I hope one day I'll be as good.
Took lots of photos and I'll process them later today and put them up on the board for the enjoyment of those that cannot attend. BTW took the photos in the presence, and with the help of four members of the organising committee, so no problem there.
If anyone else has photos please post them as well as it helps to promote the exhibition and wood turning.
Peter.

Didn't question the price.
But if you and Michelle paid to get in would you both expect/want to get a showbag and Catalogue?
Or
Do you think that one showbag per group is enough?
All I was saying was if they pay full price then they are entitled to what that entails.

Guys, I don't think NZC was having a go about any copyright infringements or similar. I took his post to mean that the image quality was poor:
Did you stop to ask the people who's work it is if they mind if you place not the best pics of there work up on here?
In that, I agreed with him and hence removed them. It's hard to photo objects without a background, without flash and with folks milling, hopefully Peter's photos will be of better quality and will pass muster!

I take umbrage at having to pay for things for no reason. If I'm going to a wood show and have to take my kids along they are not coming because they are interested. I have to find ways to keep them entertained while I try to see what I want to see. Yes I would want discount or free in this case, especially as mine are 1, 3 &4. I used to be a fulltime carer for my baby sister. During those days I was on a carers pension. I did not appreciate it when a swimming pool in Parkes NSW insisted I pay admission when I was clearly there in the capacity as a carer and was not swimming. Even cinemas grant free admission to carers. It's not always the price bit the principle.
And in the case being commented on - full price but not being given a full show bag.
If I attend something with my wife and all her kids, she had 6 to her ex and 3 to me. Yes kids prices make a big difference to me.
Great observation, I missed that subtle point.
Thanks for clarifying it.

Speaking as one of the artists I really am not offended by "bad" photography. Just like I am not offended by bad spelling or less than perfect personal expression in words. What I AM interested in is what people saw and noticed and liked about the work they saw. All useful feed back. And even bad pics give you an idea of the calibre of work at the show. And an idea of what you noticed and what you like. I am sure the pics in question would not end up being the only pictorial representation of the work.
Put the pics back up I say. As they are still valid as a representation of your excitement over what you saw at the show. Others will see and notice different things. Its all valid. And I want to see and read all peoples feed back.anne-maria.

Tea Lady you are 100% right with your comments regarding taking photos and posting them for other people to view, who are unable to attend the AWE.Many great ideas have come from other peoples work, over the past 100's of years. Who cares if some-one has copied items that I have entered in the expo over the past. I DON'T. Congratulations on your awards this year
Regards Chucky
