The Lake Houston Area Photographers Club
Our continuing DYK series could go on forever. There are so many excellent benefits to becoming a member.
Did you know – we have a lunch group that meets on the Wednesday a week before our monthly club meeting. We meet at various local eateries to solve the problems plaguing humanity. The fact that we haven’t succeeded to solve any makes us only more determined to keep having lunch.
As a member you can request to be put on our lunch bunch mailing list. Admin@kwphotoclub.com
The more I look, the more I find! There is such a treasure trove of member goodies out there it’s hard to believe.
Did you know – planning a special photo trip and looking for a great guide? Well we got the answer for you. Sign in and look under the Members-only tab. You’ll find a list with contact info of some of our favorites. When you see them, send them our fond regards.
You can contribute to our list if you have a favorite that’s not already there. Simply use the link on the first page you see when you log in..your fellow members will thank you.

The attached photo was taken in Yellowstone on the Club’s winter trip in 2017. That snow was so light I fell right through it several times. Wonderful experience to see Yellowstone in the winter.
I will not be at the meeting (hoping to Zoom in) so the photos will be displayed from the Dropbox. To be certain they are included please have them uploaded by 5 pm. Everyone should have a Zoom link to the meeting as Chuck sends the same one out each month. Save it on your desktop or in your monthly calendar with a recurring monthly meeting.
Our speaker, Dave Clements, will be in person! He has addressed our club before and is always entertaining, Plus he will be selling books of his photography to support the International Rett Syndrome Foundation.
Hope we have a few Northern Lights photos uploaded from Thursday’s G5 storm. They have been all over the internet. Looking forward to seeing your favorite photos!

Long time member and beloved fellow photographer Dale Barrack past away on September 19. Many of you may have known Dale. A real gentleman. We’ll miss him, and wish his family peace.
Our September meeting was recorded and has been posted on the website. Members can sign in and find it under the members only tab.
August is behind us and we are almost to the final quarter of 2024! Our goal is to make each meeting an event you don’t want to miss! An important part of our club is the Share and Learn activity. This gives members a chance to share an experience, a trip, or a club event that they enjoyed. This month the theme is “Texas Travel Guide”. If you have done any travel in Texas I bet you have a photograph or two that you could upload to share for our meeting.
The attached photo came from a club trip in April of 2016, We visited the area around Fort Stockton, The McDonald Observatory, and Big Bend. That was the first trip for me to photograph the night sky. Below are some of the group: Rob Murphy (husband of Emily Murphy), Dale Barrack, and Helen Dugand (wife of Chuck Dugand) enjoying the beautiful sunset at the Painted Window.
Photos will be added to the PowerPoint so they need to be uploaded by 2 PM Tuesday. As of today, Jim Schepens is the only member in the Share and Learn folder. Looking forward to seeing your Texas Guide Photos! Your photos could be the inspiration for a club road trip!
