Photography Convention Coming to Dubuque

DUBUQUE — The Dubuque Camera Club will host the 62nd annual N4C photography convention  on September 13-14-15, 2018. “Blufftops & Visions” will include photography seminars and presentations as well as field trips to photogenic sites in the tri-state area.

This is the first time the North Central Camera Club Council (N4C) has brought their annual photography convention to Dubuque, IA. The organization is made up of 43 midwestern photography clubs in nine states.

Lois Pancratz, who attended last year’s N4C convention in South Dakota, has been active with helping the Dubuque Camera Club to recruit keynote presenters.  “I talked to many people, and they’re all very enthusiastic about coming to Dubuque,” she said. “These are people shooting all over the world. They’re world-class photographers.”

Blufftops & Visions convention headquarters will be located at the Holiday Inn of Dubuque/Galena at 450 Main Street. Up to 200 regional photographers are expected to attend. A welcome program will be held on Thursday night, with the keynote events scheduled for Friday and Saturday.

“We have a lot of local talent,” said Dubuque Camera Club president Ronald Tigges. “We’ll be able to host classes and offer photo shoots.”

The Dubuque Camera Club dates its history back to 1899. The club was chartered in 1942 as the Dubuque YMCA Camera Club. Today’s membership includes around 30 dedicated and skilled photographers interested in a variety of subjects and photographic styles.

The club meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first and third Mondays of each month from September through May. Meetings are held at E.B. Lyons Interpretive Center in the Mines of Spain Recreation Area. Anyone from the tri-state community with an interest in photography is invited to attend.
