The Churchville Photography Club- MULTIFARIOUS

Join us in welcoming the Churchville PHotography Club to Photo 612.

The Churchville Photography Club started as an outgrowth of photography courses offered at the Churchville Nature Center in 1983. Students of those classes started to meet informally at the Churchville Nature Center in April 1985 to continue the learning process by sharing their experiences and bringing in guest lecturers.

From its modest beginnings of 10 members, the Club now counts over 100 members. For many years the club's emphasis was on nature photography but the current membership represents all styles of photography. As a source to inspire, the club hosts programs from a variety of practicing photographers, photo shooting trips, contests and critiques

Photo 612 will be hosting 21 Members of the group on April 12

Food by Chef Fred Kellermann, Elements Cafe and Wine Open Reception- 1:00- 3:00 pm

Tony Wood's Image, titled 'Bridget' came in second place. This image can also be seen hanging at the University of the ARts in Dorrance Hall for a limited time.

Photo 612 would like to give a special thanks to
Edna Cardinale for being present and available to speak to all of the participants in the show. She also took the time to research each of the participants viewing websites before coming down to the opening. She is absolutely Inspiring.
The selections for the show are to be applauded! Once again a great diversity. Holga photography by Lesley Krane, Pinhole photography by Sharon Harris, Silver Gelatin prints by Gerald Merna, Kelly Ryan & Michael Tolbert, Infrared Photography by Marilyn Canning & Richard Elkins, something very special by Richard Ryan. Great scenery from James Cooper, Amanda Stevenson, Dave Fonda, Elaine Walsh, James Morton, Joseph DeFay, John Doyle, Dave Simchock. Fun images from Denise Bush, Sam Oberter, Matthew Fegley, Warren Holtzman. Great People from Tony Wood, Bonnie Jacobs, Monika Merva, & Dana Horvath.
Photo 612 changed the prizes for 2008. There was to be only a First prize Chosen by Edna and then there was going to be a Director's prize (me) . The Director couldn't do it! Too hard- So left it to the Edna to choose both first and second prize. Something new tho' was introduced- the People's Choice Award! How fun was that! A chance to have your voice heard!
People's Choice was awarded to Sharon Harris for a Pinhole PHotograph- please come by the gallery to see it :)
Special thanks to Bing & Sharon for helping bring the show together by helping PUT IT ON THE WALL!!! Special thanks to Colleen for helping spread the word!! Friends of 612, it couldn't be without you :)
