General Meeting Info

Our meetings are generally held the fourth Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm, except in November and December, or if there is a conflict. We meet at the East Baton Rouge Parish Library on Goodwood Boulevard in the first floor large meeting room. Visitors are welcome to attend any meeting. For those wishing to become members, dues are $25 per year, plus $5 each for additional family member. Each meeting consists of a competition and a program featuring a guest speaker. Members are encouraged to submit entries for the competition. We vote on the entries and results are announced at each meeting. Who wins is not important, what is important is the knowledge gained from studying other entries and sharing in the details of how those images were captured.

Next Meeting

This month’s meeting will be offered in-person at the Main Library at Goodwood.

THURSDAY November 14, 2024 6:30-8:30 PM
The room is open at 6PM to encourage fellowship and discussions, as well as grab some refreshments.

Planning for 2025

As we conclude the formal LPS activities for 2024 and elect new officers for 2025, we thought it would be a great time to engage the membership in a little bit of planning for next year.  Our coordinators are gearing up for another great year of programming, but we would all like to make sure we are in tune with your needs and desires as we schedule field trips, lagniappes, mentor events, and other educational opportunities.  So we ask you to think a little bit about your photography and what you think may help you further your development and bring those ideas to the conversation.  Some place you’ve been itching to visit?  Bring that suggestion to the meeting.  Need help with one of the competition themes next year?  Let us know.  We may not be able to get to all of your great ideas next year, but we’re up for the challenge.  Hope to see all there.
