2021 Photographer of the Year
Although competition is only part of the Southeast Volusia Camera Club,
it has been a long time tradition. Our friendly competition is a way for members
to learn and grow, regardless of their skill level.
Each year we recognize the photographers who score the highest points in their appropriate class. The top scorer in the "B" beginner and growing novice class group,
is recognized as the winner in that category and advances to the "A" group.
The top scorer in the "A" professional and serious amateurs class group
is recognized as the photographer of the year.

in the mid 1970's, at the suggestion of a couple of friends who were active in the Lawrence Camera Club. I still belong to that club which is now known as the Merrimack Valley Camera Club. It meets in North Andover, MA. I am a past President of the Club and served in other capacities as well over the years. I'm a long time member and past President of the Massachusetts Camera Naturalists, an invitation only organization. Presently, I am a Master Member of the New England Camera Club Council and have served on their annual Conference Print Competition Committee for many years and a long time member of the Photographic Society of America. I was a member and past President of the Yankee Photographic Society, now disbanded. Over the years, I have competed successfully at many levels in Color Slides, Black and White and Color Prints and Digital including Prints. I do a lot of Nature, but overall, will photograph most any subject matter if I see something that appeals to me. I have judged many photo competitions and also presented a number of programs at camera clubs. John Lowe Scroll down to see John's winning 2021 entries. |
Approximately 1982/83, I went to work for Kinderfoto, a children’s portrait studio in the mall. In 1993, I went to work for Kodak as a sales rep promoting film and servicing one hour processing in local retailers. All the while, still using my original SLR (Ricoh) camera to take pictures of the kids playing sports. The children got older, and life got in the way of photography. Took a break until 2017 and started dabbling in wildlife photography on the weekends with a DSLR. When I retired in April 2019, I was able to devote more time to photography and became an advocate for ethical wildlife photography. I love shooting wildlife but will never put an animal in distress, just to get the shot. You will never see any baiting, luring, trapping, chasing, audio calls, or using any method to alter the subject’s behavior in my wildlife photography. I currently shoot with a Nikon D500 and most of the time I have my 200-500 mm lens on. You can find me on Flicker @gloriahoward and I just started using Instagram and can be found @gloria.howard.31 Gloria Howard Scroll down to see Gloria's winning 2021 entries.
