It is with great sadness that the club has been informed of Rob Miller’s passing on 25 March 2020 at Gosford Hospital.
Rob had been in and around photography from a very young age. His father, being a cinema cameraman in both the Far East and Hollywood, was a great influence on him. Under his tutorage Rob became adept with both the camera and photographic processing. Rob and his Mother were interred in a Japanese prisoner of war camp in the Philippines during WWII. These were difficult times.
After university Rob went on to study aerial mapping with further training in the U. K. before being posted to the Middle East and later to Nth. Borneo. On completion of his contract he returned to the Philippines where his family were in business. Rob started a small photographic company specialising in producing classy annual reports allowing him to travel extensively throughout South East Asia. He sold is business in 1968 and subsequently migrated to Australia with his family.
Rob was a popular member of our club. He was always smiling, even in adverse times. He enjoyed the company of our members and took an avid interest in their photographic achievements. He was quick to praise and encourage others and he was slow to condemn. Rob was a very creative and talented photographer and will be greatly missed.
Rob Miller was without a doubt, nature’s quiet gentleman.
Our condolences go out to Rob’s family.
