2018 SACC President's Statement
Welcome to the Saint Augustine Camera Club web page. If you are interested in becoming a member or attending one of our meetings or events, we have listed information below to help you get started. Whether you are a member or just curious about our club, click on the MENU button on the upper left for membership information, activities, contact methods and more.
Monthly Meetings. SACC has monthly meetings in the conference room at Watson Realty on US 1 South. Attending members and guests usually number about 60, all with a zest for photography. Meetings start promptly at 6 pm and finish up around 8 pm. From January through November, meetings feature a guest speaker with a 45-minute program followed by a Q&A session. After the presentation, we take a short break, then reconvene with a brief club announcement segment. Club Vice-President, Laryssa Gobets, presents a short helpful-hint segment. The remainder of the meeting is devoted to reviewing member images for our monthly assignment. Each month members submit digital photographs following an assigned theme such as “shiny” or “reflections.” These images are projected during the meeting for group discussion and critique. Twice a year the images are submitted in an 8 1/2" x 11" print format. December is reserved for our Christmas Banquet and Holiday Card Contest. Informal Sessions. On the second Tuesday of each month, SACC often has an informal meeting at the Anastasia City Hall Meeting Room. Members share useful information and offer one-on-one assistance, great resources for beginners and novices, or members perplexed by camera or software problems. These meetings start at 6:30 pm and end around 8 pm; guests are welcome. Please check the website as occasionally the second Tuesday falls in the same week as the third Thursday, so we cancel the informal meeting that month. |

- On June 25 thru 29, SACC will be hosting its second annual Youth Photography Workshop, to be held at the new Guy Harvey Outpost Hotel on Anastasia Island. Twelve students, ages 12-17, will participate in morning classes and be given afternoon homework assignments. The cost is $200. Graphic Arts teacher Ed Beckett from Flagler Palm Coast High School is the course instructor. Guy Harvey is sponsoring the event as well as providing a scholarship plus providing cameras in conjunction with Canon cameras. The St Augustine Alligator Farm and Florida’s Birding and Photo Fest as well as SACC will be offering pre-paid scholarships. If a student is interested in applying for a scholarship, he or she will need to submit a short essay (three-four paragraphs) on “Why I want to improve my photography skills.”
- On July 20 and 21, renowned photographer Ben Hicks will teach two Surf Photography workshops that were rescheduled from last year due to Hurricane Irma. This is not a two-day program; a different workshop will be held on each day. Sign-up fees are $50 SACC members, $75 non-members for each of the two workshops.
- SACC is in the planning stages for our 2018 Member Show to be held at the Saint Augustine Art Association in October, opening night will be October 5.
