NHCC End of Year Banquet

Yesterday the New Haven Camera Club had their end of the year banquet at Eli's on Whitney Avenue in Hamden. The food was good and the company even better!

Everything went very smoothly and we got out much earlier than ever before. Part of that recognition goes to our 3 wonderful judges who very efficiently weeded out the best of the best.

Thanks Lisa, Carmine and Rick!!

They had a tough job with prints, slides, electronic and two honor awards. There were sooo many great images and I always love this end of year exhibition because we get to see all those great images side by side.

Congratulations goes out to Bob Parisi whose image "Bass Harbor Lighthouse" won electronic image of the year. This was especially significant because the photo was taken on a NHCC field trip and also because Bob is in Class B.

I do not have the list of winners yet but I remember that Barbara Vietzke's image of Venice won 1st place in A prints. I will post the complete list of winners as soon as the list is forwarded to me.
