The essence of any city includes a wide variety of conflicting and complimentary visual details: soaring architecture with intimate spaces,   homelessness in the midst of extreme wealth, crowded streets filled with people seeking a morsel of personal space. “Cityscapes” explores the beauty and fragility of urban life through the lenses of members of The North Bethesda Camera Club. The exhibition will feature various aspects of urban life and architecture. This show was juried by Colleen Henderson, a fine art photographer and educator living in Bethesda, MD.

The North Bethesda Camera Club (NBCC) was founded in 1965 with the goal of producing better photographers through assignments and competition. Within a few years, NBCC established itself as a major contender for photographic honors in local and national contests, with many of its members achieving recognition for their outstanding work.

Challenging the members with stimulating competition assignments, sharing knowledge through educational programs, and enjoying the fellowship that springs from a common interest are the hallmarks of the North Bethesda Camera Club today. The 165 members of NBCC meet in Rockville, Maryland on most Wednesdays from September through May. Other activities include exhibits at public galleries, photo critiques, member training, workshops and field trips both local and across the country, and the popular NBCC Photo Essay presentation each spring.
