23rd Camera Committee Photo Auction raises more than $5,000

More than 70 members of the Angeles Chapter’s Camera Committee and their guests attended the 23rd Photo Auction Party at the G2 Gallery in Venice on Nov 10. This Camera Committee fund raiser is held every four to five years.

In this event, committee members created a pop-up art show that included 61 mounted photographs donated by 38 photographers. After an elegant evening of viewing and noshing on goodies, the bidding began!

Camera Committee members and notable photographers such as Don Kirby, Joan Gentry, Camile Seaman, and Mark Citret donated images for the auction. Eleven silent auction items included works by Robert Glen Ketchem, John Swope, and Ian Schive. The event raised $5,400, part of which will be used to support the Camera Committee’s ongoing programs and part will be donated to the Angeles Chapter.

Thanks to all Auction Committee volunteers including Chair Peter Mason, Joan Schipper, Alison Boyle, John Boyle, Steve Anderson, Bill Betts, Grant Rigby, Jasmine Swope, Alan Der, Stephen Beck, Audrey Pignetti, Vaughn Hart, Neil Davidson, Beverly Houwing, Randy Knox, Carole Scurlock, Judy Molle, Chuck Behrman, John Davis, Janet Schipper.
