2025 Schedule of Events

Jan 8th  Alex HousePresentations/Speaker – TBD
Jan 22nd Alex HouseThere are two themes for January: 

1. My best phone photo.

While the rules for this are rather lax, try to keep it, say, within the last year or so. Show us what you’ve been able to do with “just” a phone. Can be new, but I want to see what members have been able to create with their phones. 

2. Trees

This is an easy one, and OK for this time of year too. Please send up to a max of 5 for each or either of these themes. Please ensure you tell me which of the themes the photos are for; if you have a phone photo of a tree I won’t be able to tell! Send to derek@derekhayes by Monday 20 January for showing on Wednesday 22 Jan. Usual sizes. 1400×1050, jg.  Selection of CBPC photos for North Shore Challenge

Club Theme, March, Red

Crescent Beach Photo Club Posted on April 20, 2023 by Brian KilpatrickOctober 9, 2024

Just to let everyone know that I am stepping down from my position as Themes Director for the club.  

A couple of reasons but mainly because I think that positions within any club should be transitory.  We should open up postitions to allow the opportunity for new people to participate.  New people bring new ideas and approaches and that is what will keep organizations fresh.

Also it have been increasingly difficult to integrate the themes schedule into my regular life.  

So, thanks for the opportunity to work with the talent we have in the club, it has been a pleasure.

I am sending this out now because I want to make sure that everyone attends the next meeting on May 3.  This is the yearly AGM where the new slate of directors will be chosen for the following year.  It is important that we get volunteers for the positions vacant.

And now onto the themes ZOOM call from last night.  We had just over 20 members on the call and we viewed the 46 photos submitted.  As usual I have selected some honourable mentions and the photo of the month.  The theme this month was “Things that are Red”

And the honourable mentions are;

Joy Hayes – Converging Energies
Lynne Kelman – Little Red Dress 
Norman Orr – Batten the Hatches
Roy Abbott – Red Faced

And the photo of the month is 

Llaesa North – Mary

Remind everyone that the current theme is “Abstract” and please have your submissions to me by May 7,  I will show them via ZOOM later in May.

Thanks,  Mike Strong
