Are you sitting alone in your room my friend then come to the cabaret. There is a group specializing in nearly every interest that you can imagine.
July's 12th meeting was titled: Cameras, Contest, and Coffee plus: Oldies But Goodies Held at: Immortal Creations Studios
I estimate that with in the south jersey area in a 20 mile radius there are 100 plus groups that meet with interests of variations of photography. Many groups meet weekly discussing various aspects of photography: cameras, lighting, critiquing, evaluating each others work, while others groups specialize and meet to work with models (some human, some not) other groups work with photography with drones.
Just some popular groups that I personally am familiar with meet: Haverton, Drexel Hill, Brookhaven, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Oaklyn, Maple Shade, Mount Laurel New Jersey.
