This and 14 other prints by member Philippe Cailloux will be shown at his first solo exhibit opening in Los Altos on Fri June 19. The show, entitled " Explorama", is the artist's attempt to convey some of his quirky concepts via graphic explorations, often with surprising and entertaining results, as attested by many who have seen Cailloux's work at club competitions.
The opening reception is at Hiruko on Fri June 19 from 6 to 9 pm, and all are encouraged to attend. Wine and cheese will be served, perhaps with some martial art demonstrations on the side. Details here: http://photsy.com/explorama/

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).
