The Sun Lakes Camera Club is a member of the Photographic Society of America, an international organization catering to the photographic, educational and informational needs of its members. PSA allows participants to learn via virtual online workshops with global participants. The classes are more intimate, allowing for more in-depth and proprietary education. As a member, our club’s participation in their intra-club competitions will be expanding this coming year to include Monochrome and Nature categories, in addition to Open and Travel. Congratulations to John Livoti and Janet Ballard on receiving their PPSA designations and Raul Lopez on his QPSA designation.
