Photo Critique and More
A Night of Photography, Constructive Critique & a High-Flying Mini-Auction
This month, instead of our traditional Guest Speaker, *we’re turning the spotlight on your photography!*
*Anonymous Photo Critique*
We’ll be hosting a special *Photo Critique Night*, giving members an opportunity to have their work thoughtfully reviewed and discussed by the group. A special folder will be set up in *Google Drive, where each member may upload up to three (3) images for critique.
Here’s the twist: the photographs will remain anonymous.
When uploading your images, please do not change the original filename or add your name or any other identifying information to it. We want the discussion to focus entirely on the photograph—not on who made it.
Only after the critique of an image has been completed will we invite the photographer to reveal themselves, and tells about his/her thoughts when the image was taken.
Submission Guidelines
Upload up to three (3) images [Click-HERE to upload your critique image(s)]
Images must be in JPG format
Do not include your name or identifying information in the filename
Images do not have to be fully processed or finished
In fact, submitting an unfinished image may make the critique even more valuable. Perhaps you’re wondering: Does the crop work? Is the composition strong? Should I convert it to black & white? Is there something distracting that I’m not seeing? This is your opportunity to hear fresh perspectives from fellow photographers in a constructive, educational and supportive environment. The goal isn’t simply to decide whether we “like” an image. It’s to talk about what works, what could be stronger, and what choices might take the photograph to the next level.
And Then… We Take to the Skies!
As an added attraction for the evening, we’ll also be holding a special *Mini-Auction* featuring premium Flight Line Club tickets to America’s Air Show at MCAS Miramar on:
Friday, September 25, 2026
These aren’t ordinary admission tickets. The Flight Line Club puts you right up close to the action, making this an especially exciting opportunity for photographers looking to capture the speed, power and precision of one of Southern California’s premier aviation events.
Please note: Parking is not included with the tickets.
So bring your photography, bring your opinions, bring your camera enthusiasm—and bring your bidding spirit!
You just might leave the evening with some great ideas for improving your photography and a front-row opportunity to photograph America’s Air Show!
Frames. Feedback. Flight
One fun IEPC evening!

Featured Member Photographer:
September 3, 2026
Kimberlee Price Brown has had a camera in her hands for most of her life. Through the 1980s and the years of raising her children, photography was simply part of how she remembered life. Around 2015, that lifelong habit became a deeper curiosity, and eventually, a passion for studying photography and developing her own visual voice.
At heart, Kimberlee is a storyteller. Her favorite photographs are rarely the perfectly posed ones. She is drawn to people as they really are: expressive, unguarded, absorbed in a moment, and often unaware of her camera. She likes to get close, allowing a face, a gesture, or the surrounding environment to tell the story. Her photographs might capture a spontaneous engagement on a beach, a child wandering through a field of flowers, or a quiet interaction that could easily have passed unnoticed.
She also loves photographing the milestones of the people closest to her, from maternity portraits and weddings to the everyday moments that eventually become family history.
Whether photographing someone she loves or a stranger she may never meet, Kimberlee is always looking for the same thing: the feeling inside the moment. For her, photography is less about creating a perfect picture and more about noticing a story while it is happening.
Japan Through the Lens: Travel, Landscape, Architecture & Culture
In May 2026, photographer Kim Brown traveled across Japan with Keiko, who was born and raised in Japan, experiencing the country through both a photographer’s eye and a more personal connection to its culture.
In this presentation, Kim will share the photographic story of their journey, from the landscapes of Mt. Fuji and Kamikochi to the temples of Kyoto, historic Miyajima, and the energy of Tokyo.
Through landscapes, architecture, cultural details, street scenes, and Japan’s remarkable transportation system, Kim will explore the creative and technical decisions behind her images: working with available light, finding compelling compositions in unfamiliar surroundings, capturing scale and atmosphere, and knowing when to photograph the iconic view and when to look beyond it.
From misty mountains and quiet gardens to bullet trains and bustling city streets, this is about more than documenting where she went. It’s about using photography to capture what it felt like to be there.
October 1st - OPEN
Anyone who would like to volunteer for 2026, please let us know!
