East Texas Camera Club Meets Today At Gander Mountain
The East Texas Camera Club is scheduled to meet at 6:30 tonight in the Lodge Room at Gander Mountain, club spokesman Stephen R. Korevec said.
Tammy Cromer-Campbell will be the speaker and will share her way of "sharing her vision through photographs," he said.
Ms. Cromer-Campbell is a photographer, author and filmmaker. She was innovative in using the Holga toy camera to create her first book, "Fruit of the Orchard/Environmental Justice in East Texas." The book was published in 2006 by The University of North Texas Press. Her work is included in public and private collections internationally such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Museet for Fotocunst, Belgium, and others.
"Fruit of the Orchard" also received a first place award under the category of Entertainment and Culture for the first-ever Green Dot Awards. Cromer-Campbell is listed as an honoree for National Women's History Month for the 2009 theme: "100 Women Taking the Lead to Save Our Planet."
Ms. Cromer-Campbell received her degree in commercial photography from Kilgore College, under the direction of O. Rufus Lovett. She lives in Longview with her husband, Scott.
