The Coastal Carolina Camera Club welcomes Brownie Harris to share stories and images from his 55-year career and new book when he presents to CCCC on Thursday, March 12 at 7 p.m.  He plans to show some 60 photos taken during his extensive career. He will discuss behind the scenes stories and personal stories about subjects including John F. Kennedy Jr., Andy Warhol and Carly Simon.  Brownie will also share tips for how to light subjects.

Club meetings are monthly (except July) on the second Thursday of the month at 7pm in the Fellowship Hall of Shallotte Presbyterian Church, 5070 Main St. in Shallotte.  Guests are always welcome. Membership is open to photographers of all skill levels. Meetings consist of informative programs on photographic techniques, topics, and software usage, member photo presentations and critiques, guest speakers and much more. 

Top Photos in Club Competition Selected

Members of the Club submitted photos in this month's intra-club competition judged by an experienced member of the Photographic Society of America. The members are divided based on experience and ability. Six photos were selected for recognition in two classes.  In Division B that includes the lesser experienced members, Ric Strickler was awarded first place for his image "Dawn on Oak Island".  In second place was John Medeiros' image of "Feeling the Music" and Gene Viviano's photo of "Dangerous Glacier Chasm" was named third place (photo unavailable).  In Division A, Jeff Hankey was awarded a blue ribbon for "No Turning Back."  Peter Riekstins' photo of "Peaking!!!" was named second place and Harold Sisken took the third-place photo "Pass Interference". Congrats to the winner and thanks to the photographers who submitted entries.

Field Trips

Although the club is still seeking a member to be the coordinator for field trips, we have several trips planned for the next couple months. 

March 14th, we will meet up at Huntington Beach State Park. at 8 a.m.  This is a great place for birding, but you also have the beach and Atalaya (castle) as photo interests.  This trip will be led by Rick Renda.  

Please let Rick Renda know if you plan to attend by end of day March 11th. His email is rrenda3@gmail.com.

If you wish to carpool, I will meet people at the Lowes Food parking lot (near ATM in back) in Little River at 6:50am.  I will have room for 2 or 3 people.  If there are any more, we'll need another driver, and we can follow each other. Please contact me at miting@atmc.net ONLY if you plan to carpool.  And you still need to contact Rick if you are going.

March 28th  Some members will be capturing special moments in the Special Olympics at the Town Creek Park in Winnabow.  This will be led by Ellen Sheehan.  We already have enough photographers signed up for this event. However, you can still attend the event and show your support.
