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 124+ 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.

The August meeting was notable. Not only was it the presentation of new version of the major competition rules by Sue Williams, but it was also club officer elections. All officers were re-elected save for secretary Claire Hageman who had decided to not run. Rebecca Duncan was elected into the vacancy. Ed Hall gave a briefing on the MS Bike Ride project and Alan Welch described how he got his "FALL" image. The speaker was Jack Lewis who spoke on his career in aerial photography. His talk and images were very uplifting.
