It’s almost time for the start of a new year at The Manitoba Camera Club. As programming chair, I have tried to think outside the box; to make the program as varied as possible; to keep it  interesting and thought-provoking, and to meet the needs of photographers at different levels of expertise.

The club is the best deal in town and we all know that Winnipegers love a deal! For only $40 you will be entertained and educated in photography for the months from Sept. to April. You will meet a lot of people with similar interests and I can absolutely guarantee that you will learn and grow in your photography.

This coming year we are hosting some of Winnipeg’s top photographers: Rodney Braun, Manual Sousa, Joe Kerr, Tara Miller and myself; to name just a few.

Have a look at the program. Mark any dates on your calendar that you are interested in. You can come once as  guest at no charge, just to try it out.

Here’s this year’s program:
