Historical BackgroundReturn to Top

Photo Forum started in June 1988. The group was formed after some members attended a workshop with Bruce Barnbaum at the Coupeville Arts Center in the month prior to the group's formation. It was established as a forum for photograhers to strengthen their photographic skills and vision. The group holds monthly meetings which consist primarily of print review and discussion. Occasionally presentations are made on history of the photographic medium or photographic techniques. The group has consistently had around twenty members although members come and go. Only a few of the original members remained active with the group.
