End of Year Photography results

We attended the end of year presentation night for Port Adelaide Camera Club Incorporated last night and I got a few surprises!

 
I got a 'Merit' for the Club Aggregate Award (4th Place) and a 'Merit' (4th Place) for the Print POTY (Photograph of the Year)

Best part of the night for me though, was being presented with the Donna Hutchinson Memorial Award for my image 'Port Adelaide - A work of Art' for 1st Place in 'Our Port Adelaide' Print competition.

 

 

 

Donna was a well loved member of PACC and passed away quite unexpectedly in 2022. Here I am with Donna's partner, Mike ....... I like to think Donna would be happy for my win! 
 

 

Feeling quite optimistic about embarking on my 14th year with PACC.

Dianne Davies Memorial Nature Trophy

Dianne Davies was a very popular and well-respected member of the Port Adelaide Camera Club from 2006 to 2016.

Dianne achieved many photographic accomplishments with the club, including winning the:

· Silver Club Trophy once;
· Gold Club Trophy 6 times; 
· Nature Trophy 3 times; 
· Photo of the Year Trophy in 2015; and 
· Our Port Adelaide Trophy in 2016.

Dianne passed away in August 2016 after a battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

In 2017, the PACC Committee introduced a memorial trophy in her name. We are all that much richer for her enthusiastic and inspirational contribution. 

Next PACC competition is 'Our Port Adelaide' another trophy subject, which I would love to win one day!
