“Over the years photography has evolved, first through science, then as a craft, next a profession, and eventually recognized and practiced as an art. And, today, evolving into an expression of the imagination.

Through it all TNPPA was there helping, guiding, mentoring, sharing, and teaching us all. Because of TNPPA I have met many of my most loved friends, the memories of many great times together are my dearest treasure in life.”

- Dwight A. Jewell, Past President (2007)
