From a very detailed report provided by Arlene and Henry Winkleman: On Tuesday evening, February 20th the Boston Camera Club hosted the New England Camera Club Council (NECCC) Winter Print Competition. Our judges for the evening were: Elisif Brandon of the Newton Camera Club, Robert Pizzano who is currently the President of the Greater Lynn Photographic Association
and Robert DeRobertis who is currently the President of the Stony Brook Camera Club. Robert DeRobertis stepped in to be a judge the night of the competition when the third judge was unable to attend. Two of the judges declined to accept any remuneration.
Elisif Brandon is a member and past president of the Newton Camera Club and has been judging for camera clubs including Merrimack Valley, Nashoba Valley, and Boston CC since 2005. She started her own business as a professional architectural photographer 10 years ago, after discovering her passion for photographing buildings. Elisif shoots exteriors and interiors, in both residential and commercial settings, for architects, remodelers, interior designers, developers, and commercial real estate. She also enjoys photographing rusty things, classic cars and looking for close-up abstract details. Elisif has a PhD in Marine Biology and has done grantwriting for charter schools.
Robert DeRobertis is currently the President of the Stony Brook Camera Club, has served as Print Competition Chair, is a certified NECCC judge, and is on the list of NECCC Judges. He describes himself as a “drive by” photographer. If he is out “driving by” something and it catches his eye – he stops, takes out his camera and photographs. Robert just happened to stop by to watch the competition. Bob stepped in to be a judge when, ten minutes before the competition was to begin, we realized the third judge had not arrived and would not be able to attend.
Bob Pizzano is a founding member of the Draper Photo Club and has been a member of Greater Lynn Photographic Association (GLPA) since 2012 where he is currently serving as President. At GLPA he competes in the Masters class in prints, winning Overall Image of the Year in 2015 and Digital Class A Image of the Year in 2017. Bob has won several New England Camera Cub Council (NECCC) Electronic and Conference honors, including a Best Botany Gold Medal in 2011 and Best Photojournalism Gold Medals in 2015 and 2016. Unlike many seasoned photographers, Bob does not have a decades-long history of photography dating back to childhood. In fact, he was a “snap shooter” who had never taken his camera off “auto mode” until 2008. Then, during a minor mid-life crisis, he decided to explore the meaning of life and took up photography. Educated and working as an Electrical Engineer, he finds the technical side of photography comes more easily to him than the artistic side. Bob was a member of the Boston Camera Club from 2008 to 2012, winning Image of the Year in 2012.
