Summer in Richmond, BC, is a wonderful place to be. Public events occur throughout the season celebrating our heritage, the arts and the beauty that surrounds us. The Richmond Photo Club is a large part of this and contributes by volunteering and documenting these events.
On July 17th we participated in the 14th Grand Prix of Art. This event featured over 150 artists that are tasked with creating a painting within a three-hour time limit. Over 4000 visitors attended this event that was spread across three kilometers of beautiful Steveston waterfront! Photographers that are members of the Richmond Photo Club that day were Julian Rozental, Chuck Vaugeois, Fabian Dominguez, Grant McMillan, Laurie Lirette and David England. Photos from the event can be viewed here: http://grandprixofart.ca/blog/
On August 11th Family Farm Day at London Farm occurs. This is an annual fun filled family-oriented day that features food trucks, live music, arts and crafts and kid’s entertainment. Photographers from the Richmond Photo Club that participated in this memorable event were Julian Rozental, Elmar Theissen, Laurie Lirette and Gerry Boretta.
Our hope is that our contribution of photography to these community activities not only creates a record of them, but that it strongly contributes to promoting interest, engagement & participation in them!
