Nikon Pals Photography Group

Sep 23, 2016

The Nikon Pals is a Photography Club with a difference. Its members are a diverse group of individuals who have one thing in common … mental illness. The Nikon Pals have proven that mental illness need not be a barrier to artistic impression.

Background

Photography has proven to be an excellent avenue for creative expression. The skill level of the members has progressed to amazing levels since our initial meeting in January 1997. Our members have not only learned the fundamentals of camera use, but more sophisticated photographic and digital composition.

Being part of the club has provided many therapeutic rewards. The members have been able to focus their creative energies, gain confidence, socialize, and discover the unique and diverse community of Hamilton and its surrounding areas.

Purpose

to acquire photography skills
to have fun
to develop and participate in a hobby
to expand our creativity
to meet new people and make lasting friendships
to explore our community
to be part of a group

Who Can Join

The club is open to adults living in the greater Hamilton area who have been diagnosed with a mental illness.
