My dad is the President of the Kings Point Camera Club. To be honest with you, I didn’t even know he enjoyed taking pictures until the last 10 years when he moved down to Fort Lauderdale with my mother.
The other day, I was talking with my parents about their upcoming show. Each of the participants of the camera club had an opportunity to showcase their photographs to the Kings Point community (over 55 gated community).
When I went to their house last week, they showed me some of the photographs. I was very impressed. They ranged from beautiful pictures of Florida homes to photographs of children. One in particular struck me. It was a photograph of my nephew sitting in the grass holding his face up to the sun with his eyes closed. It had such expression!
This was their third exhibit, which was held in the clubhouse and they had dozens of people view their works of art.
The Kings Point Camera Club was formed nearly 20 years ago and is dedicated to enhancing photography as a fine art. Each month, members get an assignment on a specific subject. Some of the assignments included architecture, parks and wildlife.
They also have lots of day trips to museums and even random places like touring the Sun Sentinel or going to the Calder Race Track.
Both my parents really enjoy it and it’s great for them to be involved in such a creative activity that they are passionate about.
