At 2:30 P.M., Dubuque Camera Club members will discuss the 2023 iteration of their annual photography exhibit, Rural Midwest. Members will talk about their experiences and the personal stories behind their work.

Dubuque Camera Club members Bob Felderman, Ronald Tigges, and Stephonie Schmitz will present a program about war photography and the use of the camera from the Civil War through the Vietnam War—the era when the Rolleiflex, 35mm, Leica, Nikon, and Canon cameras were introduced.

The Dubuque Museum of Art invites you to join the Worldwide Photowalk on Saturday, October 11th from 10 AM–Noon.
Photographers of all ages and skill levels will meet to socialize, share, and inspire each other during this one-day, worldwide event. The Walk will be lead by Ronald Tigges, President of the Dubuque Camera Club, along with Club members. They will lead a short tour of downtown architecture, nature, and provide assistance with cameras. Focus will be on composition.
All cameras, skill levels, and ages are welcome to join. Smart phones to DSLR. Bring any lens or other accessories that you might like. Be prepared to walk a few blocks, the area is flat.
