Amateur & Professional Camera Clinic

Aug 16, 2008 - Aug 17, 2008

Admission to the Camera Clinic is $25 per person for non-professionals and free to NPPA and NCPPA members, media and working press. Because there are a limited number of seats in the auditorium (165), we ask that people who plan to attend pre-register. Online pre-registration begins July 15, 2008.

The Grandfather Mountain Camera Clinic was founded in 1952 by the late Hugh Morton.
