CRESTVIEW — Photographer Mira Crisp invites shutterbugs to capture local attractions this summer and share their experiences with others.
"There are a lot of photography enthusiasts out there, and we are proud to be able to now offer a place for them to meet, learn, share and discuss photography," said Crisp, an officer of the newly formed Crestview Photo Club.

The club welcomes anyone — "from advanced and professional photographers to beginners who have just picked up their first point-and-shoot camera or smart phone," she said.
The Italy transplant particularly enjoys photographing downtown Crestview, which has “lots of great backgrounds; full of details.” She and her husband, Brett, moved to Crestview last year.
The club plans to elect a seven-member board during its first meeting on July 8. In addition, the club wants to form committees for marketing, hospitality, trips and challenges, and maintain a database of photographers willing to donate their services.
