The Club’s mission is to provide a supportive forum where photographers of all levels can gather to learn, share ideas and techniques, and explore both the science and art of photography. These goals will be met through presentations by external speakers as well as fellow club members and active participation by members in club photo assignments, competitions, field trips and monthly meetings.
