\u201cMilitary vehicles\/patriotic\u201d was the\u00a0theme for the Wassenberg Camera Club’s competition in prints and slides Thursday, July 12, at the Wassenberg Art Center.\u00a0 Will Hawkins swept the print category with a winning picture of the Statue of Liberty and followed it with an image\u00a0of flags waving in Rockefeller Center in New York City.\u00a0 Will said he’d taken the pictures while on a VWHS band trip to the Big Apple.<\/p>\n

Rex Dolby’s picture of the flag\u00a0at\u00a0Kam Manufacturing won the slide category and Karl Gribler’s historic photo taken in May of 1970\u00a0when the National Guard was called in\u00a0for riot control on the OSU campus took 2nd place.<\/p>\n

President Doug Heckler announced that the prospectus for the October Show should be ready for distribution very soon. It was noted that there\u00a0would need to be extras available to leave at city and out-of-town locations, as well as\u00a0provided to\u00a0nearby camera clubs.\u00a0 Doug also reported that we have confirmed one judge for the show\u00a0and are waiting to hear from other candidates.<\/p>\n

The club was given the opportunity to purchase two posing columns for the studio at a reasonable price. Questions where raised, however,\u00a0about storage and how frequently they would be used, which led to the decision to give it further consideration before taking action.<\/p>\n

Virginia Thatcher reminded everyone that the deadline to enter your pictures for this year’s fair exhibit is noon (12 p.m.) on August 1!\u00a0 You don’t have to have the pictures ready, but you must know the categories you’re going to enter and be prepared to buy an admission ticket.<\/p>\n

Fair categories in color and B\/W are: Around the Fair, Landscape, Fresh Produce, In the Air, and Dolls.\u00a0 All pictures, with\/without mats, must fit in an 8×10 inch frame with one image per frame.<\/p>\n

If you plan to enter the same scene in both color and B\/W, they must be taken separately and show composition differences to verify they are two separate pictures.<\/p>\n

The club is grateful to a number of equipment donations for\u00a0its historical display.\u00a0 These will be itemized in a later report.<\/p>\n

The club’s next regular meeting will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, August\u00a09, at the Wassenberg Art Center. Outdoor fun will be the competition theme that evening.<\/p>\n
