On the evening of May 18th, 2021, CAPA President Rod Trider had the privilege to presenting (virtually) Ottawa Camera Club member Darrell Larose with the CAPA Club Service Award Metal for 50 years of service to the club and the photographic community in Ottawa.
Darrell first joined the Ottawa Camera Club (OCC) in 1970 after being introduced to the magic of the darkroom by fellow club members. Within the club he has held just about every position from coffee maker to President 3 times over the years.
Within the community Darrell has been a free lance photographer, web manager, outing leader and camera guru while working for various camera stores in Ottawa. He has always shared his photographic knowledge and been a mentor to many photographers. An inspiration to all. Congratulations to 50 years and counting at OCC.
Please join us in congratulating John Kalley for achieving the MCAPA Honour. John is an active member of the Surrey Photography Club and has served as their Secretary for the past six years. John frequently organizes model shoots for the club and is very involved in the local portrait photography community.
John Kalley Bio:
John’s adventures into photography started as a teenager when he made a photographic record of the places on the BC coast his family visited. While an undergrad at UBC, he was employed in a cell biology lab where he made photographs for scientific publications and, as a graduate student, created electron micrographs and ultraviolet images which were published on every continent. During his teaching career, he formed photo clubs and taught students how to take images, process various film types, make slides and produce prints. Upon retirement, he picked up a camera again, but without any particular goal. Thinking that portrait photography would be a good place to start, he registered for a course which Sheena Wilke was offering and, making contacts there, subsequently joined the Surrey Photography Club. At the outset, seeing the splendid images of its members was intimidating…thoughts of entering competitions even more so. But the encouragement and enthusiasm of soon to be friends brought inspiration along with new insights and so began his journey leading to involvement in CAPA competitions and the anticipation and serendipity of obtaining a great image whenever the camera was in hand.
John’s certificate and pin was recently presented to him by Carol Jackson, CAPA District Rep – Lower Mainland.
Au nom d’Henry Schnell, président de l’ACAP, A. Dubeau a remis à Pierre Vézina un certificat d’appréciation pour ses services à titre de directeur de la zone Québec.
On behalf of Henry Schnell, CAPA President, A. Dubeau presented Pierre Vézina with a certificate of appreciation for his services as Quebec Zone Directeur.
