Connect with Other Photographers
The Cuyahoga Valley Photo Society is hosting a workshop with nature photographer Charles Needle on April 24-26th.
National Park Service volunteer photographer Rick Santich, in conjunction with the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park, will be conducting 10 Photo Exploration Hikes from February through November. See his schedule here. There is no cost, but to keep the groups at an appropriate size, please register for the specific walk here.
Visit the Gallery of Walter Grossman
Visitation is by appointment, so some CPS members may want to go together.
The New Issue of The Darkroom Door Is Here!
The semi-annual edition of the Darkroom Door is out. This is a great publication produced by Deborah Willis, club members, proofreaders, and a layout artist that highlights the CPS activities for the first six months of this year. Everything is there, from competition entries, Community Service shoots, member accomplishments…well, you just need to take a look for yourself. You can find it under our Newsletter page and here.

CPS Apparel Sale!!!
We are on the last leg of clearing our inventory of apparel, including baseball caps, hooded sweatshirts, T-shirts, and polo shirts. The new merchandise, like everything else, will show a considerable price increase. Come to the clubhouse and get some bargain-priced 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 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
Recently we announced the Facebook group “Your CPS Group” for CPS members only and the awkward way to join. We found 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”.
