Come and just sit and socialize with other photographers from the Lower Columbia Region. The Monticello Camera Club has photographers of all ages and skill levels, and we will use the Meetup meetings as a less formal way of getting together and swapping stories and experiences, and knowledge.
It is our goal to plan a photography outing of some kind every month in 2009! Come get involved in the planning, and attend an outing, and learn while you shoot.
Do you just have a point and shoot? No matter! Some of our best photos were shot with point and shoot cameras. Learn to maximize your use of your camera and get the best shots you can. Learn from some of the best and friendliest photographers in the area!
Perhaps you have a brand new SLR camera and want to know more about how to use it. Join us and network with other photographers that can help you learn more, and have fun at the same time! Then when your skills improve attend one of our regular meetings and compete your photo's against some of the best in the Northwest!
Maybe you are already a good photographer, but just want to interact with others that share your passion? All are invited to attend!
If you want emotional stability and true freedom from drug addiction and alcoholism, come to a Journey to Freedom meeting. You will find that there is a way out. You will make new friends that will be a positive influence in your life as well as being supportive of you while you are on YOUR Journey to Freedom.
