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.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This month’s meeting will be offered in-person at the Main Library at Goodwood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n THURSDAY January 22, 2026 6:30-8:30 PM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Topic: Discover the World Through Street Photography<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Join LPS President Grant McCurdy for an engaging presentation on street photography and the art of capturing authentic, everyday moments.
