December Photogroup - Minneapolis Photo Center

Minneapolis Photo Center. This was the meeting location of our December photo group. The building was an old warehouse like structure in Northeast Minneapolis. We had a tour of the Center from a very informative volunteer. There are dark rooms, film equipment for enlargements, small and large printing, iMac computers with full Adobe software packages, equipment rental, a photography book library with vintage collections, studio space, and impressive exhibits to explore.

The Mpls Photo Center offer memberships to purchase for use of all of their equipment and perks. They have a monthly photo group called the F-stops led by local photographer Tom Arndt that costs about $5 per group session for food, space use, etc. There are also classes and workshops offered through the Center.

The experience left us with a wealth of information and we even got to see a photographer setting up for a photo shoot. It was a very informative, inspiring, fun visit. We would like to go back again sometime in the New Year.
