Homeless Stand Down a Success - Watch the Video
This year, 50 CPS volunteers stepped forward to assist with the 19th Annual Homeless Stand Down, sponsored by InterAct Cleveland. Professional-quality portraits were presented to almost 600 attendees and documentary photographs of the event were also provided. A video of the event can be viewed on the CPS YouTube Site. Thanks go to all our volunteers, those who purchased raffle tickets to help offset our costs and to Dodd Camera, Albums, Inc. and Staples for their generous donations!

And the Winners Are.....
Congratulations to the winners of our raffle drawing to benefit the Homeless Stand Down. Judy Gerson won the Nikon Coolpix S52 camera, Maria Kaiser won a $50 gift card to Eddie's Pizzeria Cerino and Tom Fagan won the portfolio case.

Sincere thanks to all who purchased tickets. In total, $254 was raised to offset the Club's expenses in providing portraits to attendees at the Homeless Stand Down event. Very special thanks to Dodd Camera, Eddie and Elisha Cerino and Ron Tumino for donating our prizes - and for being such wonderful friends to CPS!

The Bucket List Helps Defeat Winter Blahs!
If cold days and gray skies have sapped your desire to get out and shoot, a copy of David Busch's Digital Photography Bucket List may provide just the inspiration to pick up your camera again. A collaboration between David Busch and CPS, the book inspires and informs any photographer seeking to round out their 'life list' of photos. Copies are available at all Barnes and Noble locations or can be ordered directly through this link . Watch this space for future book signings and other news!
