BC/Yukon Inter Club Speakers Series

Numerous BC\Yukon photography clubs have been meeting over Zoom since the pandemic started, primarily to share ideas on how to keep clubs engaged while we can’t meet. Out of this collaboration, a Speaker Series featuring four Canadian photographers was launched. The intent of this initiative was to use our collective human and financial resources to bring in presenters that clubs might not normally be able to afford. The series was open to any club in BC or the Yukon willing to share the cost of the speakers. Victoria Camera Club kindly offered to host the speakers on their Zoom platform and CAPA Pacific Zone generously sponsored the cost of upgrading Victoria’s Zoom platform to accommodate more attendees. Twenty-five BC\Yukon clubs signed up.

 

  • Richard Martin –  Monday, November 23rd, 2020 – Hosted by Victoria Camera Club, will be held on November 23, 2020 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.
  • Jeffrey Wu – Friday, January 8th, 2021 Hosted by Sunshine Coast Camera Club, will be held on January 8th, 2021 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.
  • Laura Letinski – Friday, March 26, 2021 – Hosted by Tri-City Photography Club, will be held on March 26th, 2021 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.

CAPA Honours Awarded

We are pleased to announce two new Fellowship CAPA members. FCAPA has been awarded to Glenn Bloodworth and Leah Gray. We like to make these awards in public with the appropriate photos to record the event. In this time of COVID-19 awarding these honours in person is somewhat difficult. The public presentations may be delayed a bit, but we do want to congratulate these two deserving photographers. Take a look at their websites for some serious eye-candy from these outstanding image makers.
