What we’re about
This meetup group has been created to allow the members of the main organization of the Marin Photography Club to have access to our upcoming field trips and other photography events. The Meetup events are also accessible to the public, unless otherwise noted.
If you are interested in learning more about the Club, its Educational presentations, competitions, special interest groups, and field trips, please visit our website.
Please join and RSVP to attend any of the field trips. Joining the Meetup group will allow you to get all the information you need regarding the event, and post photographs at end of event.
Who we are: The Marin Photo Club Meetup was created to allow us a way of informing our members of upcoming Events, so we may plan our trips in a way which supports our members.
It is a place for us to share our event photos and our comments in a positive learning environment outside our normal scheduled competitions.
We are a group of passionate photographers interested in learning and sharing techniques, knowledge and friendship among our members. We create opportunities to extend our formal and informal portfolios, have competitions on different levels and form special interest groups to learn more about different topics of photography.
