NOTICE: Due to the current health crises, the 3CT Board of Directors has decided to cancel the 3CT Spring Event. Hopefully, we'll get past this health emergency and we will be able to move forward with the 3CT Fall event.

What Our Club Presidents Say..
Local Camera Club Presidents know the value of 3CT!
Joe Green
President, Lawrenceburg Photography Society
As Eve Arnold said, "It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument." The 3CT is a driving force to assist local club members to become better instruments of photography. If you are a member of a local club, and the club doesn't belong to 3CT, I highly recommend you join immediately.
Pat Gordy
President (2019), Photographic Society of Chattanooga
3CT helps local club members change and become better photographers. Your local club should be a club member of 3CT, and I encourage you to ask your club leaders for your club to join.
Tommy Azbill
President, Jackson Photo Club
If you are looking for some awesome, knowledgeable people to work with, then the 3CT is the organization I highly recommend. Their Board of Directors go out of their way to help your local club succeed and that's what I love about 3CT.
The 3CT President Speaks
President Jeff Roush, a professional lifelong photographer and instructor practices what he preaches. As the founder of several local photography clubs and the President of 3CT, he believes in the following reasons why you should join a local photography club that is a member of 3CT.
