About Us

We offer a variety of programs designed to meet you where you are as a photographer and support your growth. This club is about celebrating great images. It is also about sharing what we know with each other, giving back and enjoying the company of other people who love photography.

IN THE BEGINNING

The Tidewater Camera Club, was founded in 1963 by Frederick A. Curtis, Louis Coffin, Lowell Thompson, Doris Reid and C.C. Harris. The Club began as an autonomous entity within the Academy of the Arts in Easton (now the Academy Art Museum). Although the two organizations are now separate and distinct, the TCC continues to work with the Academy to improve photography in the region.

The Tidewater Camera Club (TCC) is a private, non-profit organization located in Easton, Maryland, whose members actively exercise their interest in photography. 

The Club has evolved just as photography has, from film, “wet” darkrooms and final prints when we began in 1963, up to today’s digital cameras, “computer” lightrooms and screen displays of finished images.

But the members have always been interested in and supported just about everything photographic – the genres of photography; the techniques for capturing, processing and displaying photographs; and the commercial, educational, personal and artistic uses of photographs. 

 

Just as importantly, the members support and learn from each other, whatever the skill level,
or experience or age of the photographer, through fellowship and friendly competition.

We aim to help you develop with

It was a pleasure to judge the Tidewater Digital Photo of the Year Contest. In these unusual times, the club did a wonderful job of setting up an on-line review.

I had judged for Tidewater before (in person!), for a regular monthly contest, but I was not prepared for how truly excellent all the images were for the final contest.
