Janet Baigent was contacted by a gentleman named HERB BRENNEN who is a local representative of the following group:
Inductees – 80+ Hockey Hall of Fame
a not-for-profit organization that nationally recognizes active recreational hockey players 80 years of age and over.
They are looking for a photographer for May 6, 2023, to cover the 80+ Year Old Hockey Hall of Fame Inductees for 2023.
The organizer, HERB BRENNENm provided the following information:
There will be 28 inductees this year. They will play a game on the afternoon of May 6th at approximately 3.30 p.m. at the SENSPLEX on Maple Grove in Kanata. They will be divided into two teams and they are looking for a photographer for group photos prior to the game, as well as photos of the ceremonial “Face Off” for which they are hoping to have a local VIP do the puck drop.
Then they will play a game (photographer not required here) and then clean up, and go to dinner upstairs at the Sensplex.
After dinner, (estimated to be around 7 p.m.) there will be the formal Induction Ceremony which they would also like photographed. This will be done individually for each of the 28 inductees.
The balance of the evening will be for family & friends to photograph.

The next monthly meeting will be held on March 3rd starting at 9:15 a.m.
The agenda for the meeting is:
We tried the “Free Table” at the December 2022 meeting and, despite short notice, it was successful. We will repeat that event at the March 3rd meeting. You can bring in surplus photo equipment, accessories, books or magazines which other members can take. The only proviso is that, if your item is not taken, please take it with you after the meeting.
The above photo was previously submitted by one of our members, Jay-Dee Purdie.

At our February meeting, Ross Laing introduced Every Picture Tells a Story as a new way for club members to share special images and memories. He and Ron Pierce both shared pictures and the stories that made them significant.
Ross explained:
A photograph captures a moment in time. The meaning of a photograph is often ambiguous without context — there is a time leading up to the fraction of a second when the shutter opens, the instant the image is taken, and what takes place right after the shutter closes. Ultimately, every picture tells a story.
For everyone, particular photographs become special and iconic.
You are asked to select ONE photograph of personal significance to you and tell the “Before, During, and After” of the image, taking about 5 minutes to provide a narrative about why that moment and that picture’s story are important to you.
If you would like to present your “Every Picture Tells a Story” image and its story, please email it to contact@ksccc.ca. The deadline for submitting images is the same as the monthly challenge images.
