September 18, 2017 Meeting Notes

Posted on by

Seventeen people attended the meeting on Sept. 18, 2017. Our club judged 79 images in the Digital Travel category.
Judges: Dave Smethers, John Leicht, and Kevin McTeague. Judging facilitators: Cara Pusateri, Pamela Brandt, Ron Tigges.

Treasurer DeWayne Beecher collected annual dues. [Reminder: Annual club dues are only $20 and allow you to submit images for competition and participate in exhibits and other events.]

At the start of the meeting, Jennifer Tigges gave an overview of the organizing that will need to go into the 2018 convention. She and Ron will be attending this year’s Presidents, Pixels & Pines event in South Dakota and taking notes. If anybody else is attending the event, please bring back ideas!

Remember, everybody will have to pitch in to make the 2018 event next year a success. It will be headquartered at the downtown Dubuque Holiday Inn with many events within walking distance. The name of the event is Blufftops and Visions. Be sure to like the new Blufftops and Visions page on Facebook.

The club meeting on Oct. 16 meeting will be a preliminary planning meeting. Think about potential partners, who you would like to see as a presenter, or what you would like to have as a workshop or field trip, and be ready to toss out ideas!

If you want to see terrific examples of photography by club members, be sure to visit the Dubuque Museum of Art. The Dimensions of Photography, an exhibit of photographs by the Dubuque Camera Club,  will be on display in the upstairs balcony through October 29, 2017. 

Remember, all tri-state photography enthusiasts are invited to participate in the Dubuque Camera Club.

Photography by the Dubuque Camera Club was featured in an exhibit at the Dubuque Museum of Art in Sept.-Oct. 2017.

Dimensions of Photography: Dubuque Camera Club Annual Exhibition

September 2, 2017 – October 29, 2017

The Dubuque Museum of Art is proud to host the 5th annual exhibition of photography by members of the Dubuque Camera Club. DUMA is excited to continue its partnership with our local camera club as both organizations strive to foster the continuing evolution of photography as an art form. The theme of this year’s exhibition focuses on the versatility of digital photography and the degree of technique utilized in the making of a picture.

The Dubuque Camera Club is dedicated to promoting an appreciation for the art and skill of digital photography. If you are a photography enthusiast, you are welcome to join their meetings. Being part of a photography club can bring new ideas and creative directions to your work. Any skill level is welcome.

The Dubuque Camera Club belongs to the North Central Camera Club Council (N4C), an organization of about 40 midwestern clubs. Our members are eligible to compete in N4C photography competitions.

Dubuque: A City for All Seasons

Dubuque Camera Club Third Annual Exhibition

July 28, 2015 – October 11, 2015

The Dubuque Museum of Art is proud to host the 3rd annual exhibition of photographs by members of the Dubuque Camera Club. The theme for this year’s exhibition is A City for All Seasons, signifying the vibrancy and diversity of imagery that can be found in Dubuque all year long. With support from exhibition sponsor Family Beer & Liquor, we are excited to be able to support this local group that is dedicated to exploring and improving their skills as photographers. Artists and other creative individuals can find fellowship, inspiration, collaboration, and constructive competition when they take the time and make the effort to regularly participate in groups, clubs, workshops, or colonies dedicated to their craft. Those who work in creative fields often work in isolation out of necessity and preference but when they have the occasion to participate in a group, or collaborate with another artist, the exposure can bring new ideas, themes, and techniques to their work.

For a beginner, it’s not always easy to attempt a new medium. Oil painters, potters, sculptors, and printmakers, for example, all have equipment and materials that require substantial upfront investments and need ample studio space. In a group like the Dubuque Camera Club where any skill level is welcome and the medium of photography is widely accessible, the motivated beginner can get started quickly and find an invaluable source of knowledge and support.
