Auctioneer Clint Hryhorijiw by Patrick Gunn
Toronto. Multi-talented newsletter editor, Patrick Gunn decided to take and share selected photographs at our spring auction. Like many auctions, the audience was able to browse the individual lots and decide on which ones to bid and what value ceiling to set.
Once started, auctioneer Clint kept a fast pace as each lot was put under the hammer, sold, and set aside for the winning bidder. While this spring’s auction was missing some regulars, the overall bidding resulted in satisfying sales for both buyer and seller with a reasonable amount going to our society to aid in its volunteer objectives.
Our Social Media editor, Mina Markovic plans to upload all of Patrick’s photos this month to the PHSC Instagram channel. This channel is well worth a visit from anyone even remotely interested in photography as Mina and her volunteers keep the channel lively and interesting.
Note: The title of this post is a riff on the beautiful piano suite by Modest Mussorgsky titled, “Pictures at an Exhibition“. I spent many a peaceful afternoon listening to this suite (and to a lesser degree, the Monty Python parody, “Decomposing Composers).
