What Our Club Presidents Say..
Local Camera Club Presidents know the value of 3CT!
Joe Green
Past 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
Past 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.
