The Warren Camera Club is a group of local amateur photographers who meet monthly to share images, techniques, ideas and some friendly competition.  Numbering 15 to 20 members, the club is a diverse group with a wide variety of skill levels, professions and areas of interest. Some of the club’s members have a passion for wildlife and nature photography, others focus on landscapes, sports, architecture and abstracts. 
The Club was originally formed around 1940 as the Black & White Club of Warren.  Over the years as camera and film technology changed, the club became the Warren Color Club and later the Warren Color Slide
Club.  For roughly 50 years color slides were the norm for photographic submissions.  With the advent of digital photography, the Club again changed its primary photo medium and renamed itself, in 2007, as the Warren Camera Club. 
The purpose of the Warren Camera Club continues to be the sharing and evaluation of images with education and improvement in the art of photography its goal. The club’s members all have a passion for photography and enjoy sharing their love for the captured image with each other. There is a constant desire to improve photographic skills and image quality. The club’s members achieve this through practice, critique and discussion. Members share their ideas and techniques during meetings allowing all to continually improve their craft. Education includes studying options for enhancing photos, either through the camera or through post-processing. This encompasses editing and/or manipulating the image to improve its impact or technical quality. This exhibit, entitled “Life Through a Camera Lens,” will feature two to three photographs from each of the club’s members and will reflect the many different photographic styles and favorite subjects within the club.
