LATEST NEWS AND EVENTS

At our next meeting on June 1st, we'll be presenting a Zoom recording of the judging of our year-end competition. This year's judges are: Jack Kaminsky, a New York-based photographer whose work has been exhibited in various galleries and includes portraiture, street photography, and digital manipulation; Jane Schreibman, also based in New York, who has been documenting various aspects of life in India and other South Asia countries, including pre-Taliban Afghanistan, for many years; and Sara Signorelli, a professional photographer specializing in the fine art genre who also teaches photography to students with disabilities for the NYC Department of Education. Join us to see who wins the title of  "Image of the Year"! 

It's not too late to reserve a spot at our Otto Litzel Memorial Dinner on June 15th. Come and celebrate another year of PWCC photography and programs with fellow Club members. Check the latest Photo Notes or Weekly Reminder for details.
