RiverWinds Photography Exhibition
We are delighted to announce that our 2024 RiverWinds Exhibition for SJCC Members is now open for entries.
Last year’s exhibition was a huge success with 50 fabulous photographs gracing the gallery space in this highly trafficked community center. Visitor feedback was glowing and a record number of photographs were sold during the show’s run.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to participate in this year’s exhibit that will run throughout November and December.
Don’t delay! Entries close on October 16.

September Challenge Review
Thank you to all our members who submitted images and those who were able to attend our first Challenge night. A total of 77 images were critiqued by judge Rich Lewis and we had approx. 50 members and 3 new guests in attendance. This was also our first Challenge conducted with our new software and I want to personally thank Chuck Kuski for his dedication & enthusiasm in getting everything up and running... job well done! And of course, Rich for a great job in critiquing the images. I must also thank all our members who submitted images working with the new system. I asked all in attendance if you have any comments about the night to please email us at info@sjcameraclub.org.
What happens next with the Challenge images? All the submitted images have been uploaded into a gallery. There is a link under the "Galleries" menu called "Current Month Challenge Images". This link will take you directly into the gallery with the most recent months images. Gallery images of the season's previous galleries can be found by going to the "Galleries List" menu. Images that given awards by the judge, will be home page slide show.
Welcome to the 2024-25 SJCC Season!
If you are like me, you must be asking “where did summer go”. Vacations, quality time with family & friends, home projects and hopefully some photography.
The board has also been busy teeing up a robust & exciting line up of workshops, presentations, field trips and a few surprises. Oh, we also launched a completely new system that now encompasses the club's website, membership, challenges, calendar & all events. Hopefully, you were able to attend one of the Zoom training sessions or watched the recording.
One of the critical goals of the new system & website is having everything the club members need in one location with one login to provide a better experience while being user friendly. Delivering accurate & timely information has always been important and this will support the club moving forward. The old saying of "crawling before you walk", is very true for all of us when learning a new system and we will walk together this season.
Moving forward, you will notice an overall theme of “go to the website to learn more, register or how-to” with numerous links. You can now manage/view all aspects of your membership by selecting "My Account" from the website menu when logged in.

Who We Are
Founded in 1976, the South Jersey Camera Club (SJCC) was organized to promote the art and science of photography. Among its goals is the desire to unite others in sharing similar interests, to exchange ideas and photographic expertise, and to enhance the skills of club members. Our members come from all across the tri-state area, especially southern New Jersey & Philadelphia.
Dedicated To Better Photography
Outstanding speakers present interesting and informative programs. Field trips and workshops provide practical photographic experience. Themed and open challenges and bonus contests throughout the season encourage members to explore new techniques and subjects.
Multiple events/meetings are held throughout each month during our club season of September through June. Our in person Challenge meetings are held at the Medford Leas Community Center Auditorium, One Medford Leas Way, Medford, NJ 08055.
Programs are planned to interest photographers from beginners to skilled artisans. Guests and prospective members are always welcome.
