In today's world, where everyone engages in photography, the CCACC Photo Club will once again present a distinctive, high-quality photography exhibition at the CCACC Art Gallery, starting on January 6, 2026. The exhibition will feature 40 works across a wide range of subjects, showcasing unique mastery of lighting, composition, and creativity. Visitors are sure to find it a rewarding experience.
From the roaring dragon lantern displays and the softly illuminated nights of Xitang, preserving millennia of Chinese culture, to the blossoming iron-boned plum flowers, fiery aerial performances, and spiral stair musical motifs that create unique urban landscapes; from golden light spreading over the morning, sunset painting the sky red, mist curling around ancient trees, wildflowers clinging to snowy mountains, and tranquil lakes reflecting perfect mirrors—depicting the grandeur and elegance of mountains and rivers; from the tender bond between mother and child, dancing cranes, and daring aerial battles of eagles—revealing the countless expressions of the animal kingdom; to the dazzling starry skies, towering canyons, and the dancing northern lights—showcasing the vastness and timelessness of nature.
We pursue magnificent landscapes with the determination of explorers, capture fleeting moments with the agility of athletes, present exquisite details with the rigor of scientists, express limitless imagination with the romance of artists, and convey our love and reverence for all living things with the sentiment of poets. Join us through the lens—witness the depth and richness of Chinese civilization, appreciate the extraordinary beauty of the world, and experience the boundless grandeur of the universe!
We extend our sincere gratitude to the CCACC Art Gallery for its steadfast support, as well as to our members and their families for their dedicated efforts. We warmly invite you to visit and enjoy the exhibition.

About the CCACC Photo Club
Founded in 2000 by Mr. Ned Li, co-founder of the Chinese Culture and Community Service Center (CCACC). The CCACC Photo Club is one of the oldest, largest, and most active photography organizations in the Greater Washington, D.C. area.
Guided by the principle of pursuing "high standards and refined taste," the club offers a rich variety of activities, including online and in-person photography lectures, member critique sessions, photography competitions, outdoor photo excursions, and inter-club exchanges.
Over the years, many club members have received numerous awards in international and local photography competitions. The club has also consistently participated in the Maryland Photography Alliance (MPA) inter-club competitions, achieving top rankings. Most recently, at the September 2025 MPA competition, the CCACC Photo Club once again earned the distinction of having the highest number of award-winning entries. Through the members' dedication and outstanding achievements, the CCACC Photo Club has gained broad recognition within the photography community across the United States.
