A Season of Successes

As all great things come to an end, so too must the 2009 / 2010 season for the Photo clubs of Toronto.

I have to admit, it was a great season in deed with many accomplishments and kudo's notched in the PC bed post. The most notable of these are:

Toronto Camera Club

Founded in 1888, the Toronto Camera Club was the first camera club in Canada and among the first in North America. A member of The Greater Toronto Council of Camera Clubs, associated with The Photographic Society of America and the National Association for Photographic Art and a patron of the Canadian Association of Photographic Arts.

• 2009 / 2010 David John Wright Creative Trophy


• Best In Show / Top Image, October 2009 Project Image Division

The Canadian Association for Photographic Art (CAPA)

The Canadian Association for Photographic Art was born in 1998 as a result of a merger between the National Association for Photographic Art (NAPA) and the Colour Photographic Association of Canada (CPAC).

The Beach Photo Club

The Beach Photo Club is a local community interest club, which is volunteer-driven to promote members interest and knowledge of photography. Formed in 1997, the first meeting was held at the Beach Arts Centre on Queen Street near Woodbine (now condos). A thriving local community club, which has seen over 28% growth in new memberships over the first 4 years of its existence.

• Best In Show - November 2009 Digital Open Division

A very healthy list of accomplishments in deed. But it doesn't stop there. The season also saw three (3) top Image placements, four (4) 2nd place merit awards, three (3) 3rd place merit awards and thirteen (13) honourable mentions.

WOW!
