The opening reception attracted nearly 80 members and guests who shared the night, with 69 images from 37 different artists, along with food and beverages to enjoy. Ans Van Beek Torkington and Bob Wynn, co-presidents of The Casements Camera Club, presented 14 awards to the artists with works selected by the two outside artists. There were no parameters for the submissions. Members were allowed display up to two works.

Anthony Copello is the Camera Club’s youngest member, and at the age of 12, he was awarded an honorable mention for a shot he took at De Leon Springs. He said likes most how the water flows in the image
