Then and Now
CPS has operated continuously since 1887, making us one of the oldest camera clubs in North America. For over 120 years, CPS has grown and adapted, embracing new techniques and technologies - and remains vibrant and active. CPS does not specialize in any one photographic discipline, instead educating and encouraging its members to explore all subjects and types of photography. While the majority of members have converted to digital formats, film enthusiasts remain an active minority.
We currently have over 300 members and are one of only a very few clubs to have our own permanent clubroom. These facilities allow CPS to conduct a Photo School three times each year featuring sessions on Fundamentals of Good Photography and Photoshop Elements Photo Editing and a variety of informational and educational programs. CPS meets almost ever Friday night throughout the year.
