May 2nd - Franklin  - Image of the Year Competition

May 9th  - Franklin -  New Member Showcase

This is a night where we get a glimpse of what you enjoy about photography. Each participant will have 5 minutes to show up to approximately 30 images. There are no judges, no time restraints on when the images were taken, and no topic requirements.  The types of images are totally up to you.

May 16th - Zoom - "Show and Tell"

Finally, after years of requests, we're going to have a program similar to the New Member Showcase! This will be a fantastic opportunity to share your images, without any judges, and tell us about the stories or inspirations behind them.  A night where we can enjoy great images and celebrate the great creativity and talents of our diverse membership!

I'm calling the night - Show and Tell.  Here is how it will work: Show us up to 12 images and tell us a little bit about them. The floor is yours! Given our time restraints, we'll have up to 90 minutes to fit in as many participants as we can. We can feature a total of 30 members max. Each member will have 3 minutes to Show and Tell up to 12 images. 

And remember, like the New Member Showcase, there are no judges! There are no time restraints to your images or specific themes. You call the "shots" (ok, that's a corny pun) and pick what images you would like to show, and what you would like to tell us about them during your 3 minutes. 

Get ready for the details coming up shortly on where and how to sign up and submit your images.     So, get ready to Show and Tell!

Women vs Men Photo Challenge June 6, 2024

Submit images by May 31, 2024

On January 25, 2025, women club members were paired with a male club member, and the two were randomly assigned a category. You may interpret the category as you wish, and you can use images taken at any date. Images must be submitted by May 31, 2024 at midnight (submission instructions will be sent out before then).

The Challenge will be held on June 6, 2024 both at the Church and on Zoom. Women images will be shown side-by-side with their male counterpart, where 2 judges (one female, one male) will evaluate and pronounce the winner. The overall Women vs Men winner will be tabulated and announced at the end of the evening.

Upcoming Workshops

Architecture Photo Walk in Woonsocket with Chuck Noel Saturday May 18th from 9 am-noon

This is for anyone interested in photographing the architectural living history of the Industrial Revolution in its environment (river, falls, mill buildings, mercantile buildings, railroad station, 1920’s restored theater, public buildings including the only remaining building that Abraham Lincoln spoke at in R.I.).

There will be a short info session at the start and Chuck will be a resource for photographing techniques/ideas for architecture and also for the local history as it relates to the buildings. Plan on walking about 2 miles round trip.
