Photography is our passion!
The Grand Rapids Camera Club is a member of the Photographic Society of America and the Southwestern Michigan Council of Camera Clubs. We usually meet once a month for a presentation which is both interesting and informative. This is followed by our photo competition for those members who want to enter. We all get to see the photography of others, and this helps us learn and improve.
Visitors are welcome to attend our meetings!
Club meeting are held the 3rd Wednesday of the month (except for February, July, and August). The meetings start promptly at 7:15 PM, so it is good to arrive about 15 minutes early. We meet at Grace Episcopal Church at 1815 Hall St SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49506. Come and visit; you can elect to join our club at any time. Most meetings are free for guests, but occasionally when we have a paid speaker there is a small $5 fee for non members.

Why I liked the image.
As usual there were a lot of great images this month. However the reason I chose this is because of the creativity Becky put into it. Many of us (including me) don’t put much creativity into our assigned subjects. I liked that she thought about how to make it different. I think we should put more credence in judging into the creativity aspect of the assigned subjects. - Kathy
About my image.
I think the assigned subjects are a great chance to stretch our creativity as a photographer. As for me, I try to turn the assigned subjects into portraits. I actually had a different photo already taken for this theme, but on the day they were due, driving down the road, I got this idea. I managed to make it happen by the end of the day and I am so glad I did! Thanks to my beautiful daughter for being my model! - Becky
