The Club has resumed in-person meetings. Our first Wednesday meetings are now held in the Meals on Wheels Community Center, 700 Jewell Avenue, Pacific Grove. Our third Wednesday meetings continue to be via Zoom.

Meeting location is subject to change. Please refer to our Calendar for meeting specifics.

Format

Our meetings are relaxed, open to the public, and generally include a projected image program, print sharing and discussion, competition results with recorded or live-judge commentary and discussion, committee reports, and a social period with refreshments.

On the first Wednesday of the month, we enjoy a special speaker program, skills discussion, open projector sharing, or other activity. On the third Wednesday of the month, we see the results of that month's competition including projected images and either live or transcribed judge's comments and awards. A lively discussion usually follows the competition results, as you might imagine,

There is a social period prior to the start of our meetings, from roughly 6:30pm, and a refreshment period folloiwng. For details, please refer to our Calendar.

Content

PROGRAMS: Our programs consist of a mix of presentations by local professionals and technical experts, and discussion of various photographic or Club activity topics.

SKILLS NIGHTS: Skills nights are devoted to sharing members' particular topic expertise, or other resources aimed at a specific element of photography.

OPEN PROJECTOR: Short member presentations of print or projected images. Usually limited to ten minutes, the sharing provides a chance for group feedback on successes, problem solving, or simply for the enjoyment of the group.

COMPETITION RESULTS: The presentation of submitted images and our judge's comments and awards. Sometimes, local judges will give their results in person, but generally they provide a written narrative.
