Next Zoom Meeting: May 20 2026 2pm-4pm, host Jim Wilkinson
Theme for May-July’s meetings are “Portfolio Project” –
Over the next three meetings, the theme is compile a set of 20-30 images that focus on a subject or style. Panoramics, black&white, birds, macro, or architecture are examples. This is an alternative to different monthly themes, so feel free to interpret it however you like. Some people might dig into their archives, others might go out and shoot something new, or do both. Share around 7-10 images per meeting with a similar vibe, but really, just go with what you’re excited about.
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 April meeting themed “Before/After“, “Spring/Flowers”, & “Clouds” are online here.

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.
