Sonny Ramminger tells us that anyone who knows their own cameras well enough to answer questions, perhaps from someone who has much less experience or has just gotten a new camera, there is room for more people to help answer questions.

January Membership Meeting

The Oshkosh Photography Group will have its next meeting on Tuesday, 17 January, 2012, at Zion Lutheran Church (400 N. Sawyer, Oshkosh).
