Washington Park Camera Club

WPCC Archive Committee Presentation
2021-04-20 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Chicago) | Zoom
Slide presentation of Washington Park Community sites.

WPCC Washington Park Archive Project; Unique Opportunity and Responsibility.
Recognizing the unique opportunity of our camera club location on a historic landmark since
1955, WPCC members felt a duty to document Washington Park’s history and surrounding
community before the Obama Center construction.
Reorganizing after the pandemic lock down, dedicated members created on-line files and photography contracts; photographed Washington Park area people, historic structures and park to be preserved in the WPCC archives. Committee members will show and describe Archive Project photographs and discuss membership involvement.

WPCC Early New Year Eve Masquerade Ball
2020-12-29 19:00 - 20:30
Members will celebrate bringing in the New Year early with a Masquerade event. Considering everyone is identified on zoom, their facial covering will not enable an identity facial mystery.
Therefore, members can be as creative as possible with a decorative Mardi Gras/carnival mask. It can be a commercial mask or homemade. This is not mandatory, just fun participation.
Champagne toast a must. Music and impromptu dancing. Possible games may be added.
Hope to see all members. 2020 was rough for all of us. 2021 will be much brighter.

WPCC Guest Presenter - Jordan Campbell
2020-10-27 19:00 - 20:30
Photojournalism presentation.
Per Jordan Campbell:

“This year has been a year of questions. When will black lives matter, how will we make it through this pandemic? The questions that arise are in response to the needs of our city and world at large. We as a people are being forced to learn that the world is not meant to be controlled, but to be protected by the ills of 2020, and that’s why protest has been the voice of the voiceless.

This body of work (presentation) covers the essence of people moved by faith and hope to see another world today.”
