Time Running Out to Book Cruise
Shipmates, We are just a little over 100 days out from our “Cruisin’ with your Shipmates” 2024 Navy Photographer’s Reunion which is set to sail out of Port Canaveral, Florida on October 18th. Up to this point we have 38 people booked for the cruise. Many of our regulars are missing from our reunion list. Hopefully, we will see their reservations soon! As many know, at our last meeting in DC we decided to shift from an annual reunion to every other year or possibly every third year. With many of us getting long in the tooth, various health problems, and other issues that life deals out; travel is not always possible. According to one of our shipmates we […]
2023 DC Video Shoot Off Workshop Wrap Up
Story and Photos by Johnny Bivera Despite the many challenges of putting together a last minute training program post a pandemic, the DC video shoot off team made it happen. Following a successful still photography program last March, a determined and resolute group of volunteers and talented visual media professionals rallied and brought back to life, after a three year hiatus the DC Video Shoot Off Workshop in Arlington, Virginia.

Washington, DC Reunion Update
Shipmates, Many of you have not registered for the upcoming Navy Photographer’s Reunion in Washington, DC, 5-8 October. We hope to see a large turnout for this great occasion. With all the retired PH’s and MCs in the DC area plus all the active-duty MCs in the neighborhood we really thought there would be a great turnout. Although the Navy Photographer’s Reunion is sponsored by the National Association of Naval Photography (NANP), you do NOT have to be a member of the NANP to attend the reunion and enjoy the camaraderie and festivities. For active-duty MCs interested in joining the NANP, it is FREE to all active-duty members. As Navy photographers we have and still are recording images of history. […]

NANP Scholarship Deadline is August 15th
Shipmates, It’s summer. Here on the Space Coast it has been a scorcher. Temps in the high 90s and low 100s. No complaints though, it suits me better than to be up north in the winter shoveling 10 inches of snow. The reason for my note is the NANP Scholarship. At present we have only two (2) applicants for our $500 scholarship. NANP is trying to get some traction going with this program, so if you have a chiId, grandchild, or even a great grandchild headed to college this year get them to fill out the scholarship package and send it in. To apply, click here to go to the NANP Scholarship page and follow the directions. It’s that easy, […]
