  Two photograph albums chiefly containing snapshots of trips and recreational activities in Northern California around the San Francisco Bay area, particularly Marin County, and often documenting the outings of the California Camera Club, between 1917 and 1924. Views include trips to Moss Beach (June 1917), Haywards Canyon (1917), Phoenix Lake (1917), and many visits to "Binkleys, Mill Valley."

The photographs have handwritten captions with brief notes on locations and dates. A few group portraits of the Camera Club are embossed "R.W. Diedrickson, California Camera Club."
