IMAGES ALBERTA CAMERA CLUB

Images Alberta Camera Club (IACC), based in Edmonton, AB, was founded in 1975 and is still full of vitality. It currently has about 190 members (from beginner to intermediate to advanced) who share a passion for photography. Read about our history.

Our three pillars are to learn, support the community, and have fun.

WHAT WE DO

We meet (virtually!) at 7:00 p.m. on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month from September to May (except in December when we meet on the 2nd Thursday only). On the 2nd Thursday, we have a guest speaker and a member showcase. The 4th Thursday is competition night, which is a golden opportunity for members to show their work and also to learn about the art of critiquing images.

We offer a variety of activities to our members: workshops, outings, and special interest groups. We also lend our support to community events, promote our members' work, and host exhibits.

Gerry Harris passes away

IACC Honorary member, Gerry Harris, passed away January 2, 2021 at the age of 88 years. He was born in London England, and at 17 years old immigrated with his parents to New Jersey, USA.. Gerry liked to travel and enjoyed photography so his education took longer than usual to complete. When he wasn't travelling he worked days and went to night school and graduated from Rutgers University with an Economics degree, and later an MBA. He met his wife Marie while travelling.

In 1981 they moved to Edmonton where he worked for the Provincial Government until his retirement in 1994. Gerry served as a board member of IACC, was our PSA representative for many years, and shared his photographic knowledge in many workshops. He was also a long time member of the Photographic Historical Society. Attending the Fringe and other Edmonton festivals were his favourite pastimes.

Unfortunately Parkinson's changed his freedom and he was confined to Holyrood Extended Care until he passed on. Gerry was one of the pioneers of black and white film and darkroom processing.
