<davisphotoclub AT yahoogroups DOT com> , http://groups.yahoo.com/group/davisphotoclub

• Anyone can join
  

• Email any of the admins if you want to be an admin, hopefully if everyone is an admin we'll never lose access to the list.
  

• Why Yahoo Groups you ask, well yahoo owns flickr and at some point we hope they get their act together and merge a little more. As for UC Davis lists, it was to hard to keep it going with the whole needing a student to be the admin requirement, in fact that's the problem this summer.

2007-08-09 11:37:25   How about some photos of the club itself? Kind of ironic that there are none on this entry.

• Ok, i posted one. Oddly enough, we don't have many shots of photo club. We get so busy shooting other stuff, we forget to shoot each other. Will try to get more in the future though. — jefftolentino
  

2007-10-17 23:20:33   How about a meeting Saturday Oct. 20, 2:00P.M. at Petes downtown. I think that is where the last one was. I am new to the club and I live in Vacaville so I am not that familiar with Davis but I sure I can sniff out a Petes.

I have several used computers that are capable of running Photoshop and I would be interested in donating one to the club if it would be of use.
