Ron Peiffer is a Maryland photographer who is currently VP for Contests for Arundel Camera Club. He serves as a Member-at-Large on the Maryland Photography Alliance Executive Committee and is also a member of the Contests Committee.

He is a MPA Certified Judge who has judged competitions across Central Maryland area frequently over the past few years. Ron currently uses a digital mirrorless camera but shot film for many years before that. Favorite subjects include travel and family photography, but he enjoys finding a story in people or in forgotten or unusual objects and places. He finds that photography speaks across generations and cultures and that one needs to take time to find the stories within. As photo editing software has evolved, too often photography discussions can evolve into talk about nuts and bolts and away from the telling of a narrative with pictures.
