As organizer of the two San Diego based Photography Meetup Groups, I invite any and all to join us for online communication, monthly gatherings with other photographers in the Southern California area and Southern California photo outings.
No $$$ to be a member as we currently have a sponsor covering our costs.
Many of our members are current PBase members.
[NOTE: You do not need to be in the San Diego area to be a member]
You can post images in our galleries (though there are size constraints on the site), use the message boards, take part in polls, sign on (rsvp) for outings, attend the informal monthly meetings and more.
Both are friendly groups that encourage better photography through networking with your fellow shutterbugs.
Check it out and sign up if you're interested.
