Last summer, the RPYC Photo Club decided it would be nice to have an exhibit of not only their efforts, but that of any other photographers in the club.  Over the months, as the show came together, we honed our techniques, shared information on enlarging and printing sources and publicized an event that would be not only a photo exhibit, but a 
special evening of entertainment for all club members. 
Thanks to Tom and Kathy Buckard many of us learned the tricky art of dry mounting our photos to enhance their presentation.

On Saturday, January 17, 16 RPYC photographers (including a few family 
members and a friend), displayed their work during the "Hot Shots and 
Smooth Sounds" evening.  The evening's attendees were given ballots to 
vote for their favorite photos in 9 categories, and also Best in 
Show.  There were 91 photos in all, and they were difficult choices, 
to say the least. 
Favorites in the categories were:  PEOPLE - Pat 
Maurice's daughter Kristen for "Beauty & the Beast";  PLACES - Gordon 
Fay for "Awash for the 4th of July";  BOATS - Tom Buckard for "No 
Shrimp Tonight";  ANIMALS - Patrick Fitzgerald (an RPYC friend) for 
"Lion Mom & Young";  ABSTRACT - Tom Buckard for "Nature's Spokes";  
LANDSCAPE/SUNSET - Lars Larsen for "Wheelhouse View";  FLOWERS - Carl 
Appleburg for "Prince Kissing Queen";  FAUNA - Kathy Buckard for "I 
See You";  MISCELLANEOUS - Ed Dunlap for "Smith College Art Gallery".  
BEST IN SHOW vote was for "I See You" by Kathy Buckard, although one 
voter said it best:  "They are all TERRIFIC!"
The evening continued with an elegant dinner and listening and dancing 
to the sounds of Skip Haynes' and Woody Brubaker's Dueling Sax Show. 
Our new ballroom was the perfect setting and everyone had a great 
time!  Hosts for the exhibit and evening were Ellen & Herb Schneider.
