Announcing: Photography Field Trips!
Periodically, CPS will sponsor outings for photographers. Join us for destination shooting. We'll carpool to locations and share camaraderie (pun intended) and likely a lunch, or cocktails. Look for announcements here.

Composition: Framing Fantastic Photos
Please let us know if there are other classes you would like to see--we love hearing from you!

Our income is derived from many sources, including grants and tuition, but nearly one quarter of our income is from memberships like yours.
