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 116 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.
Photographer of the Week - Mary Wynn
Picture
 I have lived in Craven County most of my life.  Both my parents were US Marines and growing up; our family lived in the Cherry Point/Havelock area.  I graduated from East Carolina University and came back to Craven County to become a teacher for students with special needs.  After spending 34 years in that career, I retired.  It appears that one trait I inherited from my mother has been a real focal point throughout my life…that trait was been the knack for documenting events. As a teacher, it was a must and oddly enough, my hobbies are photography and genealogy.
