Ole' Anchorage Photography
Shared Interest Group (SIG)
As of 11 September 2023
The Ole' Photo SIG is a part of the Anchorage Ole' Program. Our members represent a wide range of photography interests and skill levels. We have a public Facebook Page (Sig-ole Camera Club) but most of the action happens on our private Facebook Page. Join the Photo SIG through Ole' and we'll get you access to the private site.
The Photo SIG is managed by a Organizing Committee.
What does the Steering Committee do? When we first started the Steering Committee on March 9, 2020, the FaceBook notes on the meeting state: “The purpose of the committee is to do what Chuck (original founder) did: organize meetings, oversee the photo competition, set up a way for communicating ideas/opportunities as they arise, manage the Facebook account, etc... The committee will use other volunteers for specific tasks.”
The committee members serve one year terms, with two starting in March and two starting in September.
The current Steering Committee Members are:
Generally we meet once a month (2nd Mondays at 1p). We used to meet physically, but with the 2020 Pandemic, we have switched to Zoom meetings until further notice.
Additionally, a group of us meets frequently via Zoom to critique each other's work and to practice our editing skills. This group has spun off from the Ole' Photo SIG as the Alaska Photo Chat. This group is open to anyone. Feel free to drop in. Click the link and find out more!
From time to time, we hold special events/activities. One of those is our (hopefully) annual photography competition which is used to showcase the work of our members.
Another activity has been an "intentional" photography exercise. It was fun and we'll be doing it again. Check it out and join us.
The images from both of these events are available on this website.
Many of our group annually enter local competitions. It has been suggested that we show those images.
Enjoy!
