Founded in 1935, we are a group of serious amateur (and some professional) photographers interested in working together to enhance and broaden our photographic skills and artistic vision by:
- showing our work at print and digital projector evenings for critique by an outside judge (slides discontinued in 2007)
- learning from others with similar interests
- participating in special programs and field trips
Our competitions are open to photographic images captured and produced by all methods (including digital).
We are affiliated with the Northern California Council of Camera Clubs (N4C), the Photographic Society of America (PSA), & the Mid-Peninsula Photographic Alliance (MPPA).
