The DeSoto Camera Club first formed in the Fall of 2004. Genie McGee, the Director of the DeSoto County Arts Council, put out the word for any folks interested in forming a camera club that the DAC would help establish the club. Enough interest was shown and the DeSoto Camera Club was established in January of 2005. Even being a new club the DCC participated in 2 photography exhibitions, had several newspaper articles written about the group and ended the season with a First Annual Christmas Party with 25 members. 2006 started off with a major photography show at the Horn Lake Library, followed by another major showing in mid Summer.

The 2006 season ended with a third major photography exhibition, showing 80 prints at the Hernando Library. During 2006 several nice newspaper articles were written about the DCC, the highlight was a 5 page story with pictures in the DeSoto Magazine. 2006 ended with the Second Annual Christmas Party held at the Wesson House in Olive Branch. The end of 2006 saw the DCC with over 40 members.

2007 has started off with a BANG!! With 20 new and returning members AND a new web site.

The DCC is looking forward to a great 2007 season.
