Here is our speaker schedule for 2010, provided by Program Chairman and SCC Vice President Angelo Muhammad: This schedule may change during the year due to a variety of circumstances.

The Sweetwater Camera Club provides a wide variety of presentations during the year hosted by speakers with expertise in some area of photography, visual arts and associated subjects. In the recent past we have had lectures on framing, preparing photographs for exhibition, scrapbooking, lenses, photographic lighting, portraiture, nature photography, models and props, baby photography, school and wedding photography, field trips and workshops, abstract photography, macro photography, photojournalism, street photography, sports and fashion photography, travels to distant lands, landscape photography, Photoshop image editing, Special Effects photograpy both in-camera and with image editing software, Civil Rights photography and "The Business of Photography - How to make money with your camera."

We have hosted presentations by other photography clubs in the Atlanta Metro area as well. We are always looking for speakers who offer new information and have a specialty that would interest our members. The Sweetwater Camera Club does not currently have a budget to pay speakers but we do offer the opportunity for a presenter to show their work for 45 minutes to an hour in front of an auidience that ranges from 35 to 65 interested and motivated photo hobbiests. We also have several professional photographers among our ranks.

In addition, we often feature an upcoming speaker on the front page of our SweetwaterCameraClub.org website, write a permanent web article about the speaker and for some, actually video their lecture and place it on our website and in our permanent web collection.

If you or someone you know has a photographic specialty, or if you have perfected your art and craft in a specific area of photography and would like to speak at one of our monthly meetings, please contact our vice-president and program chairman, Angelo Muhammad at 678-715-7559 or call the president, Richard Nichols at 404-210-5985. We look forward to hearing from you.
