A Note from the NECCC Board of Directors
We are sorry to report the loss of a long time NECCC Representative Robert Singer, MNEC. Bob was a very well-known judge, presenter, and hard worker for the photographic community for many years. Prior to his move to the Cape, he was a member of the Gateway Camera Club and was their NECCC rep for many years. He was also one of the first program chairman for the Yankee Photographic Society (now disbanded) which held 2 all day seminars each year in Danvers, MA( much like a small NECCC Conference) attended by 300 photo enthusiasts each time. I had the pleasure of being programming chair with him and remember his organizational skill and detail to make the functions go off without a hitch. Between the 2 clubs Bob was a NECCC rep for over 30 years. He will be dearly missed by those who knew him. Below please find an obit from his friends at the Cape Cod Art Center Club.

Dear Cape Cod Art Center community,
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of a beloved member of the Cape Cod Art Center family, Bob Singer, MNEC
Bob was far more than an accomplished photographer. He was a mentor, teacher, leader, and friend whose impact on our organization and the wider photographic community cannot be overstated. As a co-founder of the Cape Cod Art Center Camera Club, a past member of our Board of Directors, and a driving force behind the development of our photography programs, Bob helped shape Cape Cod Art Center into the vibrant creative community it is today.
A Juried Master Artist Member of Cape Cod Art Center and a Master Member of the New England Camera Club Council, Bob’s photography earned recognition throughout the United States and around the world. His images received hundreds of awards, appeared in national publications, and found homes in galleries, offices, and private collections across North America and Europe.
Yet those who knew Bob will remember him most for his generosity. For more than four decades, he shared his knowledge, passion, and encouragement with photographers of every skill level. Through countless classes, workshops, critiques, competitions, and conversations, he inspired generations of artists and helped many discover not only how to create stronger photographs, but how to see the world more thoughtfully. Bob’s influence extends far beyond the images he created. It lives on in the photographers he mentored, the programs he helped build, the friendships he fostered, and the community he helped create.
We extend our deepest condolences to Bob’s family, friends, students, and the many photographers whose lives he touched. His legacy will remain an enduring part of Cape Cod Art Center, and he will be deeply missed.
