Red Wing Photography Club
This
past February, The Red Wing Photography Club kicked
off its first meeting. This is a grass roots
organization, driven by the common interest of
photography. All skill levels are represented and
there are several sub-groups focused on wildlife,
strobists and special events.
It is 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. I think 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 if they can provide
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. The
group web site (more of a forum currently) is:
