Each month we include an “assignment” in the competition that is in addition to the usual categories (Beginner, Advanced, Star). The assignment category combines all experience levels into one competition with one first, second and third place prize awarded for the assignment. You must be a member of LCPS to compete.
Guests are always welcome to attend the mettings and enjoy the entries and critiques. Assignments are great exercises for creativity!

The second Wednesday of each month, Mr. Larry Perry heads up a group of local photographers who meet for a lunch. This meeting is properly called “The Digital Lunch Bunch”. Anyone with an interest in photography, or not, is welcome to join us.
Meeting location is being reconsidered – if interested, you may get on Mr. Perry’s “Larry’s Notes” and be fully informed of all photographic events in our area. Just send an e-mail and we’ll take care of that .
