What we’re about
We are a group of photographers, photo enthusiasts, and creatives with interests that run from the most current in digital cameras to a passion for all things analogue. If you’re new to photography or a seasoned pro, this group is a great way to get out and socialise with people who have similar interests.
Our goal is to host 1-2 events a month, from Photowalks in varying neighbourhoods around Seattle, and surrounding areas, to social hours, we lovingly refer to as Brews and Views.
Photowalks are a blend of hanging out with your fellow photo geeks, exploring neighbourhoods or parks in the city, taking photos and having fun.
Brews & Views / Happy Hours are social gatherings, we find a pub or restaurant, ideally with decent food and a good selection of libations. We sometimes bring prints or digital tools to share our work. Often there are many cameras around to chat about. The conversation runs the gamut from photography (or course) to travel to movies to anything!
Other events we will host: Lighting Demos, Educational Lectures, and Excursions.
Our group is about supporting each other and being a space for people to learn and grow creatively.
All cameras are welcome, multiple cameras are even encouraged sometimes.

Join Kate Hailey for an exploration through Seattle’s newest tourist destination, the Overlook Walk. This park bridges Pike Place Market to Seattle’s Waterfront area. It boasts great views of the city, including Elliott Bay. It’s filled with photographic opportunities in architecture, street photography, and more.
We are meeting kind of early to avoid some of the foot traffic that can occur this time of year.
