Is there a Photo Club in town?

This is a discussion on Is there a Photo Club in town? within the Dallas / Fort Worth forums, part of the Texas category; I was just wondering if there was a photo club anywhere around the Richardson/Plano area...or anywhere a bit outside that. ...

I was just wondering if there was a photo club anywhere around the Richardson/Plano area...or anywhere a bit outside that. I'm looking maybe for a monthly gathering, anything really. Just want to get more involved with photography.
Just check'n

Tom

Check out Plano Photography Club. They meet once a month, and have many many fun things going on. The next meeting is on Monday January 23, 2006.

Here is the Website. http://www.planophotographyclub.com/

Hope this helps you out.

Sorry, I don't know of any clubs in Plano area.....

I do want to say that I checked out some of your stuff.
I have not seen a portfolio in a long time that has grabbed my attention as much as yours.
The technique is flawless, the ideas are marvelous.
I will go back and view the rest tomorrow.
They are an inspiration...

thanks for being part of this forum, and I hope everyone gets a chance to see your work.

There is a group in Euless that meets on fourth Mondays... http://www.trinityartsphotoclub.org/

(No, I didn't add this thinking you'd come all the way from Richardson... but for other folks who might read the thread )

i plan on going to the plano club meeting in jan if you would like to meet there (not necessary just come as a guest to any meeting) the meeting place is close to park and coit and I believe this is the largest club in the area now. email me for phone number if interested.

also heard photo club meets at the heard musuem in mcKinney. I havent been to any meetings yet but they also have several interesting trips and contests. http://www.heardmuseum.org/go/photographersclub.html

Clint - I just looked at your gallery and I agree with Tom. You have some fantastic shots that are very creative. I especially love the shot of your friend "playing" pool. Great shot setup on that one.

Thank you both...Tom and John...for your more than kind words about my work. I am going to try and make the Plano meeting this month on the 23rd. Thanks to all that have chimed in and offered their help. I might go to more than just the Plano one if I have enough time.
