Our Beginnings. 
​On May 8, 1954 representatives from nine West Michigan camera clubs met at the Scott Art and Garden Center in Lansing to consider forming an organization that would combine their talents and resources about photography.  From that meeting grew the Southwestern Michigan Council of Camera Clubs. 57 years later and we've moved into the digital age.
Our Organization.
