Camera Captures Everyday Patterns & Repetition
Members of the Club submitted images under the theme of "Patterns and Repetition" for the intra-club competition for September. There was lots of competition and the judge from the Photographic Society of America awarded 7 ribbons to recognize the superior effort. The competition entries are divided into two groups based on experience. In Group A, the more experienced photographers, first place went to Brian Whitton for "A Morning Glory." In secon place was Jeff Hanke's image of "Converging Rhythms" and a third-place ribbon was placed on Doug Wood's "Copenhagen Library." The judge also recognized with a honorable mention the entry of Charlie Baggett "A Celestial Ceiling." In Group B, John Medeiros entry entitled "Cobblestones" was awarded first place. Coming in second was Ric Strickler's photo of "Olive Groves of Crete." In third place was "World's Smallest Architect" by Dan Woeckel. Congrats to all the winners!
