Assignments

Each week there will be an assignment of some sort. This page will list the weekly assignments according to the date of the meeting in which it was assigned. Please understand that assignments are not mandatory (you are not going to be graded) so if you choose to not complete an assignment or have don't get the chance to complete it, that is okay. We are flexible and a member-friendly group.

Rather than continuing to repeat the monthly assignments (which literally do repeat except for a word change here or there), I've elected to put this ongoing assignment on this page. It is my hope that you will continue with each assignment. The only way to improve your photography is to take photos. So get out there! I love to see what you create!
