Next Zoom Meeting: Oct 21 2026 2pm-4pm, host Jim Wilkinson
Themes for Oct meetings are

  • “One spot, 10 shots” – Take 10 distinct photos without moving from one spot. You can turn around, bend or squat down, zoom in & out for 10 unique compositions without taking a step.
  • “Portable Object” – like the Travelocity Gnome, pick a personal object (or person) & photograph it/them in different locations/situations.
  • “Open” – since the first two themes are challenging enough, the third theme is open to any recent or archive photos you’d like to share.

Photos from the Sept 16th meeting themes “Shadows”, “Silhouettes”, “Fishing” link is 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. Meetings are currently via Zoom and require an invitation: Zoom meeting registration link.

New members of any skill level are always welcome – for more information on the Retirement Association, membership eligibility, the Interest Groups, & to sign up, use the following links:

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.
