Cameras roll on 'Wimmera in photos'

It's live - everything you wanted to know about the 'Wimmera in photographs' project is now contained in our video.

 
The promo video was created on an iPad mini, and uploaded to the Library's Channel on YouTube.
It will be visible on the Library's stand at the Wimmera Machinery Field Days (3, 4, & 5th March), and via the digital photo frame at various library branches.

Wimmera on high

 Photographic art books of the region are a rarity in the collection, so this book is a welcome addition - 'Hindmarsh : from my window' by Andrew Kube.

 Andrew grew up on his father Don's farm near Jeparit, and returned to the district in 2013, starting up A.Kube Aviation.  A by-product of his interest in flying has been the photos he's taken from the air. They are the subject of 'Hindmarsh : from my window'
Paddock art in the different seasons
Andrew states he has "gained a new appreciation of the beauty around the Hindmarsh area. I like how the pictures are of ordinary things taken from a different perspective."
