What we offer:

  • Two meetings a month.  On the first Monday of the month, we have competition night where photos are anonymously evaluated by an independent judge and they decide on the winning images.  On the third Monday of the month, we offer what we call a Program night, where an expert in some aspect of photography lectures on their area of expertise.  Both these meetings are typically 1.5 to 2 hours in duration. Please check our calendar for the most up-to-date meeting information as occasionally place and times change.
