Graham Burstow
It is with our greatest regrets, that the members and friends of the Toowoomba Photographic Society must announce the passing of our club patron, master photographer and friend to many in our domain.
Graham Burstow OAM FPSQ FAPS FRPS FPSA EFIAP HAFB HFAPS PSQA, has passed away amongst his family in Toowoomba.
Graham joined the Toowoomba Photographic Society in the 1950’s and remained a member until his passing.
A Foundation Member of the Australian Photographic Society, member, President and finally Patron of TPS, Graham’s contributions were not limited to photography alone.
Graham was a part of many Toowoomba organisations; including Choral singing.
An eloquent, thoughtful and fun loving gentleman to the end, we love and respect what Graham contributed as a Judge and educator in amateur photography circles.
Your legacy not only lives on; in the many wonderful books and publications, but also in the hearts, minds and collective knowledge you’ve given.
We, the Toowoomba Photographic Society Committee and Members (both past and present) send our condolences to Grahams Family in this time.
Vale Graham Burstow OAM
