Sound Exposure Photo Club was founded in 1997 and is associated with the Northwest Council of Camera Clubs (NWCCC), we are not affiliated with any other organization such as: P.S.A., P.P.A., etc. This club was formed on the basis that it is solely dedicated to helping our membership learn more about photography, and to have fun doing it. Our main purpose is to enjoy photography by sharing our knowledge, photos, and scheduled field trips. The group consisted of nine members and has now grown to over 80 members.
SEPC was founded on the basis that it is solely dedicated to helping it's members learn more about photography and to have fun doing it! Mainly, we try to make photography fun through sharing photos, knowledge and through the performance of winter workshops and summer scheduled field trips.
Our meetings generally consist of viewing and critiquing digital slides and prints, which are provided by club members. Critiques are by knowledgeable and caring members of the club and are done tactfully and with concern for all aspects of photography. Our desired formats for critique are,digital slides need to be jpeg no larger than 8" x 10" 75-150dpi, prints of 8" x 10" or larger and must be matted at a minimum, no frames or glass please.
Once a month, we schedule outings to area locations of interest to shoot photos and interact as club members. As the weather is less than permissible in December, January, February and March, we offer winter workshops.
Since we are a public organization, meeting on public property, and our membership is open to all ages (we actively seek and welcome the younger generations as members), we do not allow photographs containing any nudity or graphic violence.
When “Sound Exposure Photography Club” was formed, we wanted a club that was different from any other club within the area. We, therefore, decided that the club would be run totally on a democratic basis. What this simply means is that we have no governing board or bylaws and that the club is run on a membership vote. There are no quorums. At any club meeting the membership attending that meeting can vote and by a simple majority change any aspect of the club, and hypothetically, its entire structure and direction. In short, we intentionally run a very loose ship. Annual dues are $20 for a single membership and $25 for a family membership, to be paid in full January of each year. New members joining after the first quarter, your dues will be prorated accordingly. For more information please contact Doug Sala by email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
