What we’re about
Dedicated to those photographers who like to connect with other photographers to share one another's work and attend photography outings.
This group is for people serious about the pursuit of photography. It is for people who want to grow and develop their skills and are receptive to learning from one another. You should have experience and know the fundamental principles of photography.
Although you don't have to be an advance photographer, you should demonstrate a sincere and serious interest in photography.
"When people look at my pictures I want them to feel the way they do when they want to read a line of a poem twice."

- Christman SanctuaryStuyvesant Plaza, Albany, NY
A highlight of the Christman Sanctuary is the Bozenkill, with its 30-foot waterfall and numerous lesser cascades. We will hike less than a 1/2 mile to these falls from the parking lot. I've long wanted to see these falls in winter. You MUST have microspikes and a pole to do this short hike. There is a short but somewhat steep descent to the falls and will be slippery in winter. Dress warm and bring hand warmers. We will meet at Stuyvesant Plaza and park in front of Bountiful Bread. There is very limited parking there and we will need to carpool depending on how many people sign up. I will check if it is even plowed in winter once we get some snow. We will spend a couple of hours there and have lunch at Bountiful Bread when we return.
