Hampton Roads Digital Shutterbug Club

It began when a group of people interested in photography were taking a two day class given by Johnny Wilson at the Norfolk Botanical Garden in the summer of 2003. We felt that we would like to continue learning more, so we decided to form a club. Our first meeting took place... in September 2003 in one of our member's offices.

Our members' interest in photography varies, as does their level of expertise and knowledge. We have been moving around the last year or so, but we are currently at The Waterside @ 5417 Wesleyan Drive, Virginia Beach, VA 23455 .

The Board is elected each year in July and takes office in August. Our officers consist of President, First Vice President, Second Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Alternate Secretary.
