Photographic - Image-making and photo appreciation
Society - Friendly people with common interests
Put it all together and you have the Raritan Photographic Society, a group of neighbors who meet on a regular basis to learn how to take better pictures and to appreciate the fine art of photography. Raritan Photographic Society celebrates our 82nd year as the oldest organization dedicated to photography in New Jersey. We are a member of the New Jersey Federation of Camera Clubs and the Photographic Society of America. Join us to continue the traditions of sharing and learning about photography.
At The Big Three Exhibition at Art Way Gallery, Keats London and John Cregar both won Honorable Mentions from judge Rick Wright, . Rick praised Keats Criss Cross for its dynamic use of angles to create an compelling sports image. John's Grief was cited for its technique which gave the image a "hyper reality." Wright also mentioned John's effective use of patterns in foreground subject and background. The exhibit reception on Friday, Oct 21, was a great chance to meet and talk to other photographers from both the Princeton and Cranbury Clubs. More than 100 people attended, with many lingering until almost 10pm.
If you haven't taken the ride to Plainsboro, try to before your holiday shopping. Eighty-eight images from RPS, Cranbury and Princeton clubs are on display. Check Art Way Gallery's website for times. The Exhibit runs until December 11, 1pm. The take-down is from 1:00-2:30 pm that day.
President's note: Thanks to Christine Lesko for donating the cake and to Philip Bull, Art and Karen Goldenberg for volunteering for the cleanup. Bob and Karlyn Schwanke spend countless hours making the opening an eventful evening.
Due to construction problems at the Milltown American Legion Post due to Hurricane Irene, this Thursday's meeting will be at the East Brunswick VFW Memorial Post # 133 located at 485 Cranbury Road in East Brunswick.
