Next Zoom Meeting: Nov 18 2026 2pm-4pm, host Jim Wilkinson
Themes for Oct meetings are
- “Urban Animals/Pets” – Local birds and wildlife are often seen around San Diego. Photos not from the Zoo or Safari Park are preferred. Pets are always great subjects. They can be yours, family’s, or “strangers”.
- “Halloween/Dios de los Muertos” – It’s that time of year for these seasonal themes.
- “In The House” – another AI suggestion, take a photo of something inside your house, artistically of course.
- “Open” – any recent or archive photos you’d like to share.
Photos from the Oct 21st meeting themes “10 Shot-1 Spot”, “Portable Object”, “Open” are viewable 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.

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.
