MWCC's History

James R. M. Spor established the Manassas Warrenton Camera Club (MWCC) in September 1985. The Club's goal is to promote the teaching and enjoyment of photography through regular competitions, specialized programs presented by experts in the field of photography, hands-on workshops, and field trips. The club has grown from 25 members in 1985 to a current membership of 85. Photographic experience of the members ranges from those who just purchased their first camera to professionals. A board of directors, elected by the membership, governs the day-to-day activities. The Club is a member of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs and the Photographic Society of America.

The purpose of this Club is--

1. to promote the art of photography in the community; to institute and promote such educational, and other programs as will foster public awareness of photography;
2. to develop the skills of the members through hands-on experience and educational opportunities, and
3. to educate members in the technical and other aspects of photography and related industries through informative and educational programs.
