Club Mission Statement
(if you have one, optional):
Founded in 1962 and
located in Framingham , Massachusetts
The frequent addition
of new members has not only brought new ideas and energy, but has resulted in
the discovery of some very cool styles and world views.
A rich series of
programs and educational experiences are scheduled each year so that members
are exposed to the latest and greatest. In fact, GCC has been at the forefront
of digital photography, being the first club in our area to devote one meeting
per month to the education of digital photography and post processing.
The challenge of
monthly competitions continually keeps members fresh through self-learning,
cross-sharing of knowledge and information, application of new techniques, and
oftentimes, just through asking the simple question: How can I make this image
better?

express the many terrific styles and topics that members enjoy photographing.

THERE

happened upon this marsh down in Provincetown
·
Nanda Hrul, DRESSING FOR
CARNEVALE

Art photographer, I spotlight the unique life traditions and rituals found
around the world. In “Dressing for Carnevale,” a young woman

celebration.”

that I feel when I am viewing the scene.”

photographing seriously for more than 20 years. My main interests are in
landscape, nature, and fine art nudes.”
·
Judy Brown, SPUD AT PROCTOR HILL
FARM
"I'm very much interested in equine photography and in
self portraits in black and white with hard, high contrast light. This image is
one of my favorites for the style, but also because he's the horse I
ride."
·
Bennett Green, STILL OF THE MORNING
“On an Adirondack
lake early in the morning, loon chicks ride their mom's back for only a few
days.”
·
Maggie Hsu , STROLLING BY
