Red Wing Photography Club

This past February, the Red Wing Photography Club kicked off its first meeting. This grassroots organization is driven by a shared passion for photography. All skill levels are represented, and there are several sub-groups focused on wildlife, strobists, and special events.

It's fun to be involved with these lively enthusiasts. Several contests are underway, and several photography outings are in the works. Mary Ouret and Jeff Marcus provide the energy, and the growth of the group is impressive. One of the aspects I enjoy the most is how grounded the group is. There is no sense of elitism, and all of the support is positive.

Several local businesses have taken note of how popular the photography club is. These businesses are clever enough to understand that by providing a venue for the photos, they are ensuring foot traffic for themselves. Smart.

See for yourself. The main group meets once a month (3rd Monday of the month) at the St. James Hotel.
