About a dozen years ago I founded a local group of film based traditional photographers called The Monochrome Guild. A lot of photographers have come and gone over the years, many giving up on film and the darkroom and switching to digital. In recent years there has been a renewed interest in film and we have seen some younger members coming on board. So, the Guild now has a core of a few long term, experienced members, as well as a number of recently joined members that are demonstrating a serious interest in film based photography.
Last week I hosted our first meeting of the 2015 season and there were a dozen members in attendance. Everyone seemed anxious to move forward with some new projects this year. We are planning a spring trip, some gallery submissions and a fall show, among other things. It was great to get together with so many others that are also enthusiastic about photography. We will be getting together again in a few weeks to move forward with some of the projects that were outlined at this past meeting.
