Welcome to the Nashville Photography Club
The Nashville photography club is a venue for the enjoyment of photography and the improvement of photographic skills. The members are a mixture of amateur and professional photographers who want to share ideas and learn from each other. Find out more about the club under the About TAB.
The featured speaker for August 21, 2018 is
Jim Brown, who will present
Sports Photography
Not only is Jim an internationally traveled and published photographer and teacher; he is a contract photographer for USA Today Sports Images. His photographic career spans over fifty years with over thirty years in film and the darkroom. He received a BS degree in Education from the University of Tennessee at Martin and he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BS degree in Art/Photography from East Tennessee State University and has completed post graduate work toward an MFA in Art / Photography.
A few of his clients are Sports Illustrated, ESPN Magazine, USA Today Newspaper, USA Today Sports Media Group, Stouffer Hotel, United Press International, Associated Press, Vanderbilt University, University of the South, and Middle Tennessee State University.
Some of his more memorable career accomplishments are "Best Sports Photo of 2013," sponsored by Kia & USA Today AdMeter, United Press International spot news award for flood evacuation photography in 1977, accompanying Charlie Daniels to Cuba on a USO trip to entertain US Marines at Guantanamo Bay in the late 1980s, and photographing the Soccer FIFA World Cup in South Africa in 2010 for US Presswire.
Though Jim enjoys many types of photography, he will concentrate his talk on sports photography. He still has his first camera, a Kodak Brownie style Cub Scout camera with a flash bulb attachment.

CAMERA AND LENS CLEANING
Peachtree Camera employees come to Nashville usually twice a year and do cleaning of cameras and lenses during our monthly meeting for NPC members only. They usually come in March and September. The cost of the service for club members is excellent.
