Photo Club Camping Trip a Success!

The Photo Club camping trip to Joshua Tree National Park was a smashing success. Most campers arrived Friday night to a lively campfire. Saturday a group went on a 3 mile hike to 49 Palms Oasis. Sunday morning we awoke to some wind which caused a few snapped tent poles. A good time was had by all.

Photo Club - Pre-trip meeting for the Camping Trip

The Photo Club will be having a pre-trip meeting for the Joshua Tree camping trip. Come and join us Wed. Oct 29 at 4pm in room EE250.

This camping trip is open to all. We'll be leaving Friday Nov. 7 and will be in Jumbo Rocks campground until Sunday Nov. 9. Make sure you contact Brian or Jeff or one of the photo club officers if you'd like to go. The campground is very busy and will fill up fast. We'll be going early and will reserve campsites for as many people we know will be going. There is no fee, but it does cost $10 per campsite and there is a $15 entrance fee to the park.

Joshua Tree National Park is about 2 and a half hours from Long Beach. It is beautiful high-desert country filled with, what else, Joshua Trees and strange rock formations. It is a nature and landscape photographers dream. Not into nature and landscape, then explore the small desert communities around the area, photograph the dinosaurs along the way, or just show up in the evening for the campfire.

We hope to see you there!

Photo Club Meeting

The Photo Club will meet this Wednesday (Oct. 15) at 4pm in room EE250 at the PCC campus. New and exciting events will be planned. See you there!

Darkroom clean-up day Tomorrow!

Do you use the darkroom and lab at the PCC campus? Then you should join the Photo Club in its first "Clean-Up Day". Tomorrow, Friday the 10th, We will gather at 12:30pm and dust, sweep, clean and scrub up the lab. The more people who show up the easier it will be.

Camping trip - Joshua Tree National Park
The Photo club is planning a group camping trip to Joshua Tree National Park on November 7, 8 and 9 (Fri-Sun). If you'd like to help plan the trip, show up at the next meeting, Wed. the 15th of October or email Jeff at jsmeding@lbcc.edu. We will discuss the trip in full at the meeting on October 29. If you've never been camping before, now's the time. Joshua Tree Nat'l Park is about a 3 hour trip from Long Beach and is a beautiful high desert with incredible rock formations and, of course, tons of Joshua Trees.

Photo Club - Next meeting is Wednesday October 15 at 4pm in room EE250. We hope to see you there.
