Next Zoom Meeting: Mar 18 2026 2pm-4pm, host Jim Wilkinson
Themes for March’s meeting are “Animals/Safari Park“. Feb 10th, we had a meetup at Safari Park
“Black&White” – a popular format for our group and a category that’s often under represented at the SD Fair
“Macro/Bokeh” – easy to do at home – macro photography and/or photos with shallow depth of field (one of my favorite styles).
There are no photos from the Feb 18th meeting since we had a guest speaker from the SD County Fair, Lois Fong-Sakai. Her presentation on the San Diego County Fair International Photography Competition was recorded on Zoom. It is available to view here.
Photos for the Jan’s meeting themed “Holidays-cont’d“, “Landscapes/Oceanscapes”, “Travel” are online here.
Welcome to the UCSD Photography Interest Group’s website – ucsdphoto.group. The UCSD Photography Interest Group (UCSDPhIG) is one of several special interest groups of the UCSD Retirement Association.
Our group is comprised of current UC staff and faculty and UC retirees and their legal spouses or same-sex domestic partners with an interest in photography. We have a monthly meeting, every third Wednesday of each month, to discuss various photography topics and share photos.

I’ve set up a google drive share for image uploads to streamline the process of uploading images for the meetings. Create a personal folder and upload image to share here. It requires you to login into your google/gmail account. So if you do not have one, email your photos instead.
