It was on a Sunday morning in 1928 when eight gentlemen met to discuss the formation of a photography club in Manila. Manuel R. de Cartagena, a photo dealer, initiated the meeting and invited Vicente Mills (a government official from the Bureau of Lands), Luis Guzman (a professional photographer), Jose M. Ocampo (a broker), Bonifacio S. Araullo (a bank executive), Federico Montes (a lithographer or printer), Juan Mencarini (a linguist) and Don Miguel Heras (a lawyer of from a family that owned a shipping company).These gentlemen, engaged in varying occupations, had one thing in common – the love of Photography. Shortly after, they designated the eldest among them, Juan Mencarini as president and Bonifacio S. Araullo as secretary. In the succeeding meetings, they invited other photography enthusiasts to join the group. Later, a constitution was drawn up and they adopted the name "Camera Club of the Philippines".On August 19, 1928, the club was formally inaugurated in the office of one of the founders, Jose M. Ocampo, at the Paterno Building beside the then Santa Cruz (now MacArthur) Bridge just off Plaza Goiti in Manila.
