Welcome to CPS!

The Cleveland Photographic Society isn’t your typical camera club. We are an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Broadview Heights, Ohio which offers a variety of activities for members and visitors alike — from guest speakers to special interest groups, competitions to classes.

Check out our calendar or sign up for a newsletter to see what CPS has planned next!

Announcements

Special Interest Group Meeting —Overseas Travel Photography Made Cheap

Join us when our own David Busch will give advice from his and Mrs. Dave’s extensive experience on who, what, where, and how to take travel photos spending insanely minimal amounts of money.  For example, a $700 round trip to New Zealand (this March), a $350 round trip to Rome (last December), and a $400 round trip to Venice are just some examples. For lodging, add in an incredible two-bedroom apartment for $100 a night. Hear many more examples at our SIG meeting at 7:30 PM on June 5th.

End of Year Competition Winners

The 2024-2025 competition season has ended and the End of Year Awards and Photographer of the Year have been named. For a complete list of winners and the winning images, click here. The winning images will also be posted to the Competition Gallery of the website.

CPS Apparel Sale!!!

We are clearing out our inventory of apparel items including baseball caps, hooded sweatshirts, tee shirts, and polo shirts.  Everything is marked 50% off.  Come to the clubhouse and get some merch before it’s all gone!

View Other Members’ Photographs and List Your Website or Instagram Page

If you have a website or Instagram page with your photos, we would like you to share it with the rest of the club. When you hover over the ‘Membership’ tab on the CPS website you will find a section called ‘Member Websites’. Here you will find links you can click on to get to other members’ websites or Instagram pages. We invite you to list your own website or Instagram page here. If you are interested, send your website or Instagram address to info@clevelandphoto.org and we will list it.

Your CPS Facebook – A New Way to Join

Last week we announced the Facebook group “Your CPS Group” for CPS members only and the awkward way to join.  We found out this week that you can join by requesting an email invite. You do not have to be Facebook friends with anyone in the group. To request an email invitation, please send an email to info@clevelandphoto.org or exhibits@clevelandphoto.org either from the email which you would like the invitation or indicate the preferred email to the body. We believe Facebook limits us to adding no more than 20 people each week, so it may be a few weeks before you get the invite. Please consider joining!  The group is a digital space where CPS members can connect, post and comment on photos, seek advice, plan meetups, and share “things to do”. This is a “work in progress”, please have patience with us as we figure it out!
