Next club Meeting: Saturday, September 14th, 9:30 am
Our presenter will be Jeff Wenzel, his presenation: "In 1955, a bridge connecting the mainland of North Carolina to Topsail Island opened. For 63 years, it allowed a quaint fishing village to grow into a thriving summer beach vacation destination. But the retirement and removal of the aging iconic Surf City Swing Bridge for the new high rise bridge evokes feelings from locals and annual vacationers. Many have STRONG feelings about it. But why? Jeff Wenzel, a Topsail artist, speaks with members of the community and learns why."

The Coastal Photo Club was conceived in 1991 and has grown and flourished since then. The club, based in New Bern, covers much of eastern North Carolina drawing members from as far as Greenville, Morehead City and Swansboro. Over the years we have grown to 130+ members with skill levels ranging from novice to professional, and skill sets running the gamut. These include photo shooting, image editing, and digital manipulation. In addition to regular monthly meetings and competitions we also conduct training and mentoring sessions, take field trips to interesting shooting locations, and give back to the community through photography-related service projects. We are a learning and teaching group, our purpose is to promote the hobby and art form of picture taking and we welcome interested parties of any and all skill levels.
