Do you own a camera? Do you enjoy taking pictures? Would you like to use your camera more often? Do you want to take better photographs and enjoy them more?

Perhaps you just need a little more incentive to spark your interest. The Youngstown Camera Club (officially known as the Youngstown Photographic Society ) is what you've been looking for. We are a group of photographers who enjoy our hobby. We take photographs and share them with other interested photographers. We share, not only the images, but also the knowledge that went into their making. As a member, you, too, can share in that knowledge.

Our interests vary, covering a wide range of photographic subjects. Whatever your interest is in photography you can be sure you will be welcomed in the Youngstown Camera Club .

Competitions - Compete in competitions where your slides are judged for scores and a chance to compete in the Slide of the Year Competition. Enter your prints in our print competition.

Workshops - This is where you can learn the latest techniques, use of equipment and other subjects. Enjoy a field trip, nature walk or portrait session. Many talks, demonstrations and hands-on instructions on many different subjects by invited speakers, as well as knowledgeable club members.

Critiques - Bring in your slides and prints for constructive criticism. Share your views, opinions and ideas with others.

You get all this and more. We have banquets, picnics and just plain fun! Join today! Our dues are $20 per year for a single member and $30 per year for a family. If you are interested in joining our club, please contact the Membership Chairman or one of the officers or contact the Editor .
