Leader: Jeff Jong
The club is for all enthusiasts of photography in which field trips are designated and the finished prints matted and displayed in ACC’s Gallery walls. Upcoming field trips include: The historic Chinese community of Locke (April 21), and a Bay Area Ferry cruise and tour from Vallejo to Fisherman’s Wharf, S.F. (June). The Gallery also displays works from the memberships own personal projects. All levels of photography and equipment are welcome (cell phones, etc.). Following each field trip, class sessions/lessons are held in the ACC Computer Lab to touch up, enhance, etc. the photos and submit them to print services. Afterwards the prints are matted and posted to the Gallery walls. Field Trips and carpools are usually announced to members or interested parties only. The club also provides occasional photo-video support for some of ACC events. Contact: jeff.n.jong@gmail.com or jung95831@sbcglobal.net
