Next Zoom Meeting: Sep 16 2026 2pm-4pm, host Jim Wilkinson
Themes for Sept meetings are
“Shadows” – A popular theme we’ve tried before but one of the cardinal subject or styles of photography, particularly b&W.
“Silhouettes” – going hand-in-hand with “shadows”, silhouettes are another wonderful theme or style of photography, especially in b&w.
“Fishing” – is a stationary composition method where you find a strong background, set up your frame, and wait patiently for the right subject to walk into it.
Photos from the Aug 19th meeting themes “Perfectly Imperfect”, “ICM/Panning?Movement” & “Emotion”

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. Meetings are currently via Zoom and require an invitation: Zoom meeting registration link.

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.
