Welcome, Fellow Photographers!

Our Group is for all levels of photographers interested in improving their photography skills. We will meet periodically to share ideas and to develop our skills while sharing with other photographers.

Our group meets for photography workshops and classes. We then apply our skills during field trips, to include challenging monthly assignments. We have a Flickr Group to share our photos and solict critiques and comments.

Come and learn how to do more with your camera and meet new friends! People of all ages and abilities are welcome.

Thanks and keep those shutters snapping.

    "Yes, John, thanks so much for organizing this meetup. It was an unbelievably beautiful moon. I still have to go through my shots. Work has had me too busy to really look in Lightroom at what I might have been able to capture!"
