JUNE 20, 2018 - Congratulations to all of our MCC members who donated their images to grace the walls of the examination rooms, lab and test rooms, offices, conference rooms, bedrooms, etc. at the Shriners Hospitals for Children. See top image for some of our members who were present.
We were offered a tour around the hospital, displaying our different images on the walls. This was followed by a cocktail reception, wine and cheese. The second image shows the different Shriners' executives sitting on the Board of Directors, coming from all provinces of Canada and even some states of USA for a monthly board meeting. Glad we could squeeze most of them in one photo (June 20-2018) |

The Photographic Guild of Nova Scotia hosted the Fall Club and Individual Nature competitions on November 10, 2014. All judges were external to the club. Here is a brief summary of each of the three judgesé.
- Trevor Awalt is a member of the Bridgewater Photographic Society and the Nova Scotia Bird Society and has been interested in photography since the 90’s. Currently Trevor is concentrating on Landscape and Wildlife photography. He has won several trophies including the Gordon McGowan Trophy for Sight and Sound Essay and has had his work displayed at several galleries including the DesBrisay Museum in Bridgewater and the Train Station Gallery in Chester.
- Damian Lidgard is a zoologist and wildlife photographer. His interest in photography began in the early 1990s, having grown out of his passion for wildlife. Using on the skills he acquired through the study of contemplative photography, Damian captures the essence of what he sees in nature. Since 1997, Damian has been visiting Sable Island each year as a scientist. However, it is through his photography that Damian has developed a familiarity with this remarkable place, capturing rare moments when the wild spirit of the island can be appreciated through its landscapes and wildlife. Damian’s photography has won awards, been featured in several publications, and been on exhibit in a number of art galleries.
- Richard Stern is a long-time birder and has been active in the NS Bird Society and the Blomidon Naturalists Society for over 32 years. He has been an amateur photographer, and has managed to combine both interests, taking a particular interest in bird and nature photography. Richard has had his images published in books, magazines, web-sites and newsletters.
