Great photography begins with careful thought and planning and a thorough understanding of what goes in to making the photograph before the shutter release is clicked. Professional fine art landscape & travel photographer Timm Chapman is of the belief that photography has strayed too far away from the moment of 'capture'  and is becoming more and more 'digital art'. Photographers often spend more time 'creating' and 'fixing' images on a computer than capturing the image in the first place. As a …

We're a group of folks who just can't get enough of Italian culture: the food, wine, arts, cinema, language, automobiles, sports and the overall "dolce vita." Our goal is to get as close to Italy as possible without leaving AZ, immersing ourselves in all things Italian. Knowledge of Italian is optional. With food, we'll try to explore "alta cucina" by dining at restaurants that represent current Italian cuisine and are a departure from the hackneyed "red sauce" menus. Although there's nothing wr …

I have long since been a fan of all types of animation and it seems that there are a lot of people out here like me. I can't believe that there is no community were local animation fans can get together and network and enjoy this great art form, so since nobody else is doing it, lets GET IT STARTED. I have this dream of Arizona being the hotbed of creative ideas and animation talent second only to California. This group is to help bring talented people together to share ideas and love of animati …

THIS IS A LADIES ONLY GROUP - I know (I know) some guys like chick flicks, but it's my belief that every now and then we all need to see a good chick flick with lady friends. This group is about that. We'll get together to see a movie, have dinner, lunch or drinks, or maybe even get a manicure or go to a play. A little self-indulgence never hurt anyone. Suggestions are always appreciated, and I am always looking for hosts. I want this group to be a time to relax, have fun, and meet new friends. …

This thematic book club idea originated in Durham, North Carolina and traveled to Mesa, Arizona once I moved to the desert.  This group reads two books a month. By the second Saturday of the month we have finished a “tie-in” book and movie and get together to watch the film and discuss both book and show afterwards.  Also, we have snacks brought by members that also coincide with something from the book.  If the movie is playing at the theater, we meet there.  If not, we meet at a group member's …
