History

Jack Fredrick Sprosen FPSNZ HonFPSNZ ARPS 1933-2005

Jack's interest in camera clubs started in the 1950's and continued through every year of his life. He was a photographer who successfully embraced black and white, colour, slides, audio visuals, digital and digital audio visuals, a remarkable achievement. He was always willing to help others. Jack was a key member of the Photographic Society of New Zealand; he served on Council, was President in 1996-97, and was a member of the Honours board. So important was his contribution to PSNZ that Jack was awarded an Honorary Fellowship in 2001 (PSNZ's highest honour). The Sprosen family have donated a trophy in memory of Jack which is the purpose of this competition.
