The Woodlands Photography Club meets on the second Monday
of each month from
South Branch Library (just west of The Woodlands Pavillion),
immediately to the left as you
enter the front doors. Visitors and the
curious are always welcome, the odd
and weird sometimes, depending
on the weather! Anyone interested in photography of any type,
no matter what your level of
experience (professional, amateur, or
wannabe), is welcome to join our
club. Membership is only $1.25/month
embarrassingly miniscule, we should
really charge a whole lot more),
which is $15 paid annually. That’s the for-real bargain of the year,
folks.
