His gallery in Oatman AZ draws people in with breathtaking landscapes, images of wild places, and the creatures that live in them.
Expect practical insights and a few good stories as Rod shares the misadventures, lucky breaks, and hard-won lessons behind the images. He will bring a grounded, humorous look at what it really takes to make meaningful photographs.
Everyone is Welcome to Attend

Spotlight Photographer:
Allan Duff
In his Spotlight, “My Life Through a Camera Lens,” Allan takes us along on his photographic journey, from earning his first camera with cereal-box proofs to backpacking into remote places and capturing the people and places that have shaped his life. 😄
He also shares some great advice for photographers: listen to the judges, try their suggestions, and learn to see your images through someone else’s eyes.
And perhaps most importantly, Allan reminds us that the photographs we treasure most may not be the ones that win awards; they’re the ones that preserve people, memories, and moments that matter.
👉 Read Allan’s story and get to know the photographer behind the lens! Spotlight

NCC Rolls out Welcome Mat for PSA
Nevada Camera Club was proud to welcome the Photographic Society of America (PSA) to Las Vegas for an action-packed gathering for the 2026 PSA Photo Festival at the Rio Hotel. If you thought our members knew how to take a great photograph, you should see what happens when you put them to work as tour guides, judges, and workshop helpers.
NCC members jumped in to help make the event memorable from beginning to end. Several of our volunteers served as guides for photography outings to Red Rock Canyon, the Shelby America Museum, Springs Preserve, and a photo walk and Smith Center tour, giving visitors a chance to experience some of the unique sights and photographic opportunities Las Vegas has to offer.
Behind the scenes, NCC members also helped with the Panoramic Print judging, proving once again that our club members aren’t afraid to put
their eyes and their opinions to work!
Then came the “Explore, Learn, Shoot: A 12 Station Camera Challenge” workshop and this was not your ordinary photography workshop. Participants moved from station to station exploring creative techniques, including a homemade kaleidoscope, mesmerizing oil-drop photography, and even a fog machine to add a little mystery and atmosphere to macro and still-life photography. There were plenty of opportunities to experiment, play, and most importantly have fun with a camera.
And then there was Jerome Hamilton, who took things to another level by hosting a spectacular High Fashion Model Shoot in the stunning landscape of Red Rock Canyon. Talk about a studio with a view!
The days were long, the schedules were busy, and there was probably more than one cup of coffee involved but our NCC volunteers showed up with enthusiasm, energy, and plenty of smiles.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered, pitched in, guided, judged, taught, organized, photographed, or simply helped keep things
moving. You represented NCC beautifully and proved once again that “Share What is Known, Continue to Learn” isn’t just our motto. It’s something we do!

PSA Headquarters Thank you
by Twila Borland
I just want to let you know how much I appreciated all the help you gave us for the Las Vegas festival. It was more than we originally anticipated. The Nevada Camera Club members were fabulous and please thank all of them for all the hard work.
I had many members telling me how much fun they were having and that is because of all the work you all did with the workshops, photo tours, and models!
Riccardo Busi, the FIAP President, told me he couldn’t wait to see what he captured with the Charlie Chaplin model — he was genuinely excited. The Springs Preserve tour seemed just as popular. Many of the ladies were especially enthusiastic and went on and on about how much they loved the Charlie Chaplin model.
The 12-station workshop was a HUGE success, and I think most attendees would not mind if that was something we did every year!
