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.

Technical Issues with 9-13-24 Photojournalism Night

Technical issues prevented the live view on YouTube, of the 9-13-24 Photojournalism night as well as recording of the evening for future views.  We are working on understanding the problem to prevent its recurrence in the future and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Barb Pennington

After years of service as Hospitality Chair, Barb Pennington has decided to step down after the Cabin Fever Party at the end of this year,  The highlight of her tenure was probably the 2012 End of Year banquet culminating in the celebration of of CPS’s 125 Anniversary. It was held in the Crowne Plaza in Independence.  Close to 250 members and guests joined in the celebration.  Barb did the arranging for this social event along with her dedicated committee.  Since then there have been innumerable events, too many to count.  When you see Barb, please thank her for her dedication and years of service to CPS.  Soon you will see a call for a volunteer to fill the position.

Change in Number of Photojournalism Entries Permitted

Last season a decision was made to increase the number of entries permitted for Photojournalism nights from five to seven. However, the change was not made in ShutterScore or this website.  That has been corrected. Seven photos can now be entered for a Photojournalism night.

Members are encouraged to submit photos from the many filed trips sponsored by the Cleveland Photographic Society.  Email photos to info@clevelandphot.org and include “Field Trip” in the Subject line.
