The Don Ross Memorial Cup is awarded to the winner of the Photographer’s Choice (other) Category in the HGCC in-club competitions.
Don Ross provided the club with this trophy to acknowledge and reward those photographers that may have taken interesting images that do not fit neatly within any specific category. Don served as HGCC President and held various other positions on the club’s Board of Directors, as well as serving as newsletter editor for many years.
Don Ross’s enthusiasm for photography was immense. His images covered a variety of subjects, but architecture was arguably his favorite subject. Architectural images seemed to take on new dimensions through Don’s lens, and his architectural outings were always well attended. Don Ross is remembered as a friendly, helpful individual who made significant contributions to the Highland Glen Camera Club.
