President's Message

 

In the fall of 1972, after finishing four years with the U.S. Marine Corps in Virginia, my new bride

 Marsha and I moved to Fargo so that I could attend NDSU.  However, one of the most memorable parts

 of the fall was my introduction to the Fargo-Moorhead Camera Club and the world of photography began

 to open up for me.  Wow!, was I impressed with the salon presentations of 16x20 black and whites, color prints

 and the projected color slides.  FMCC had some really big hitters that year, with competition from Stan Thompson,

 Vernyl Pederson, Don Zimmerman and Harold Klug, to name just a few.  Dr. Coffey was in the thick of it along

 with our own A.C. Houglum      Digital wasn't even imagined at that time.  The images were all hand printed.

 

Now, the chemical days are gone, and the electronic imaging rules.  However, the name of the game remains

 "images."  Images with impact.  Color or black and white, printed  or projected, I love'em all.

  FMCC is 69 years in the running and continues to offer so much.  Thank you to all that have contributed over the years.

   If everyone continues to contribute, compete, and recruit  FMCC will thrive another 69 years.
