Ken Duquaine Is it possible that at long last we’re glimpsing the tiny light at the end of a year-long tunnel? One can only hope. And in that spirit, the Sun Lakes Camera Club (SLCC) is looking forward to its first in-person meeting since last March, on April 6 at 6:30 p.m., at the Baptist…
Ken Duquaine When one thinks of the Arizona desert, what probably comes to mind are stately saguaros, glowing chollas, or vast stretches of sparse, brown terrain. And while those images are certainly accurate for much of the year, springtime brings a new and exciting look to many areas of our Sonoran Desert with the appearance…
Ken Duquaine We are all looking forward to the distribution of the vaccines that will hopefully put an end to our isolation and allow us to once again meet in person. Meanwhile, the Sun Lakes Camera Club (SLCC) is making very good use of the technology that’s available to us in order to continue to…
Ann Posiviata Happy New Year to all! With the holidays now behind us, hopefully, you had a chance to view and perhaps photograph some of the wonderful outdoor lighting displays that pop up all around us.

Our meetings may have been canceled to date, yet our members have been active in photography competitions and events. John Livoti has been active in the Photographic Society of America (PSA). He…
Ann Posiviata It takes a lot of patience to sit in stillness. And then we welcomed the 2020 year, and we are now hip deep in stillness. As photographers, we have a head start in knowing how to be patient. Patient waiting for the perfect storm to chase, patient for the exact moment an egret…
Ann Posiviata Yes, that’s right, it is monsoon season again. The desert is a very surprising and wondrous geographical location for weather—from the extreme temperatures of over 110 degrees in the Phoenix Valley to the freezing temperatures of 32 degrees in the depths of the Grand Canyon. Yet, nothing is more spectacular than an Arizona…
Ann Posiviata “Old and Blue” was taken at the Amargosa Opera House and Hotel in Death Valley Junction. It is a historic building built in 1923 and is still operational today. Just like this good country of ours, its peeling paint reveals gold beneath. Sun Lakes Camera Club member and webmaster Bob Little used his Fuji…
