  This month Shutterbugs and Guests will be going out to lunch, then heading over to the Viewpoint Photo Gallery to see David Kahlb's "Street Photography: A People Safari". Please register so we can make reservations at the Thai restaurant, The Drunken Noodle if you plan to join us there, or just show up if you'll only go to the gallery.  We should be there about 2 pm.
  

  FF  Sacramento Shutterbugs is a cluster of Friendship Force Sacramento members interested in learning more about and perfecting their photography, editing, and presentation skills.  Our goal is to tell the FF Story with appealing visuals and encourage others to join us in our mission to cross barriers that separate as people and to build peace through friendship, and to have fun!   All skill levels from novice to experts, all camera types (phones to DLSRs) welcome.  Bring a friend.

  See our FFSAC Shutterbugs Share Site on Shutterfly to  see our photos and event calendar.  Have a question, suggestion or want to join Shutterbugs online because you can’t make it to meetings?  Send an email to ffsacshutterbugs@gmail.com.
