I am pleased to announce that Martin Kaspers will be our guest speaker on November 5. Martin was a past member of the CPS and always wowed us with his creative and innovative work. He has taken his unique approach to photography and devised his own PhotoShop filters to produce work that is positively breathtaking. He has shown his work in galleries in the U.S. and Canada, and always to great acclaim.

Readers Corner
Art "Works designed to give intellectual pleasure." Webster
"If you took it and you like it, it's art" Dan Gordon
"Where the world ceases to be the scene of our personal hopes and wishes, where we fact it as free human beings admiring, asking and observing, then we enter the realm of Air and Science.
If what is seen and experienced is portrayed in the language of logic, we are engaged in Science.
It is communicated through forms whose connections are not accessible to the conscious mind but are recognized intuitively as meaningful, then we are engaged in Art.
Common to both is the loving devotion to that which transcends personal concerns and violation"
Albert Einstein
("Logic" for the photographer means the use of conscious reasoning to determine exposure, focus, depth of field and composition. "Intuitively" for an artist means the instinctive manipulation of subject, exposure, focus, depth of field and composition without conscious reasoning.)
"When I find myself stopping to think, I know I'm on the wrong track". Edward Weston
