Charleston photographer Chuck Boyd, a former photographer in the Marine Corps, organizes a monthly meet-up for local novice and experienced photographers alike to talk about hi-tech trends, swap tips and techniques, share images and expectations and some social fun along the way.

To see what it was all about, Videographer Geoff Marshall went along Wednesday, September 12, to the 21st Century Photography Group's monthly meet-up.

"Blogging, Podcasts, YouTube, MySpace, Twitter, Flickr, JOTT and Google are just a few of the new venues popping up every day," writes Chuck on his meetup page -- and they they're to discuss them all.

The group meets on the second Wednesday of every month. Check out their Web site to see about the next meet-up, and to sign up.
