San Diego Photography Collective

I was invited by a friend, Jim, to join a Meetup group relating to photography.  If you have never hear of Meetup, it is a social site to meet with like-minded individuals relating to hobbies, fitness, and pretty much anything you could think of.

I have been interested in photography and have my trusty point-and-shoot cameras and am wanting to improve my picture taking ability.  I thought it would be interesting as I already knew one person and the location is really close to home.

I ordered a burger and sweet potatoes fries for dinner and there was a featured presenter, Malcolm Campbell, to talk about the history of cameras and photography.  He also had a bunch of props to show and tell.

It was very informative and there were interesting people at the meeting which was pretty packed.

Here is a photog - Roy who was sitting in front of me and had a cool contraption to telescope his smart phone for recording.

There was also a picture exchange and the person receiving did a walk-about and the photographer discussed the specifics.  Great meeting and I'm looking forward to attending more.
