Started on Oct 6, 1937 with 25 members, the La Crosse Area Camera Club (LACC) has been bringing together area photographers for over 70 years. Our members vary in interest and skill level but we all share a love of the hobby. If you live in or near La Crosse, Wisconsin, feel free to attend one of our meetings. For more information about the club, check out the LACC Handbook. To see samples of our members’ work, please visit our Photo Gallery.

Anyone with an interest in photography is welcome to create an account on the website and join us in discussion. LACC members please make sure you log in to get access to the private areas of the site.

President's Corner - January, 2010

We have had a couple meetings in the smaller room at Myrick Hixon which is less comfortable. We hope to be back in the main meeting room in February. On the plus side, we have not had to pay the room rental for our “back room” meetings.

The La Crosse Winter Rec Fest is the final camera club activity for January. Our volunteers will shoot all events. This effort helps the La Crosse Park & Rec Department. It also gives members a chance to hone their skills and create some competitive images. We can look forward to a few of these images in coming competitions.

President's Corner - December, 2009

Happy Holidays!!! Remember our Holiday Party at Myrick Hixon on Sunday, January 10!!!

It looks like we will have lots of white stuff for the Christmas and New Year Holidays. We will no doubt take lots of photos in the next 2 weeks. Some things to remember when taking pictures this season:

DECEMBER 8 MEETING CANCELED

Submitted by Owen and Franci... on Tue, 12/08/2009 - 8:26am

Our regular December is canceled due to weather.

President's Corner - November, 2009

Myrick Hixon Ecopark as our meeting place is proving quite nice! Lot’s of room, a great screen, and a reasonably central location for members. We may have to use the smaller room occasionally, but it will still be larger than our old location at the church. And, use of the smaller room is free (compared to $20 for the large meeting room.) In the spring we will have lots of photo opportunities as the days get longer.
