Meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month, September through May (with the exception of December when we have our holiday party). Unless noted otherwise meetings are held at Christ Presbyterian Church in Edina MN. The meetings include a digital or a print salon competition and photographic presentations. Guests are welcome but you must be paid members to compete in the monthly salons.

Interesting Photography Links
Nikon has recorded interviews with some world renowned photographers. So, set aside some time to learn something new, engage in conversations, listen to stories and spark your creativity. These videos are not Nikon ads, you can be a Fuji shooter, Olympus shooter, a Sony shooter, even a Canon shooter and still appreciate these wonderfully skilled people and the backstories to their images.
