Can you explain the difference between the Duluth Photographers Guild, the Duluth Photography Institute, and the Duluth-Superior Camera Club?
The Duluth-Superior Camera Club has a history back to the 50’s (or before) and is a group of amateur photographers meeting the 3rd Tuesday of each month starting in September. This club is a part of the N4C (North Central Camera Club Council) consisting of 40-something clubs around the upper Midwest. There are local and N4C competitions each month, and there is an annual N4C conference each fall, which Duluth hosted last year. There is a $20/year fee to join the club
The Duluth Photographers Guild is a loosely organized group of younger, tech saavi, photography enthusiasts organized by the online photo sharing site http://www.flickr.com. A number of these members are looking to get into the business of photography and have also worked up a number of art shows. Irregularly scheduled meetings (mostly centered around drinking beer) and no club dues.
The Duluth Photography Institute, LLC is my new business that will (eventually) be a photography center with gallery space, studio space (with lighting equipment, etc.) and a workshop center for learning photography and photoshop.
Hope that clears things up a bit!
