PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
September 2008
Summer may have flown by, but CPS did its best to keep pace and offer a wide
variety of events for members and friends to experience. Elsewhere in this issue,
you’ll read about some of the many field trips and other functions that helped to
make the summer memorable, but a few things stood out that deserve special
attention:
Something which might seem mundane on the surface but which serves as a microcosm of
the growth and success of the Club was the arrival of 80 new chairs for the clubroom. In
addition to providing some much needed relief over their well-worn and thinly-padded
predecessors, they fill a growing need as members and visitors alike pack the room for Friday
meetings. Thanks to the Board for their approval and to Bert Klein for managing the selection
and ordering process!
Competitions returned after a brief summer hiatus – and boy did they return! The first People
competition brought almost 90 people and 113 images, only to be outdone by the first
Pictorial event, with over 90 in attendance and an unprecedented 144 images. Success breeds
necessary change, however, and the number of entries allowed per competition has now been
lowered to two per entrant in order to allow the emphasis of the evening to remain on the
judges’ comments (and to get everyone home before dawn!).
The first CPS auction in many years was held in late August. While attendance could have
been better, approximately $4,500 of photographic merchandise was sold, with a small
commission retained by the club. Many people put a lot of themselves into this event and
their efforts were much-appreciated. The success leads me to hope that this long-standing
CPS tradition will now again be held regularly from now on.
But the real success story of this Club year has been the record-breaking enrollments in the
School of Photography. As of this writing, a total of 196 students have enrolled in
Fundamentals of Good Photography, Introduction to Digital Editing or Basic Digital
Photography since January of this year. Many of these students have become full CPS
members and have been active in Club functions and activities, and bringing new ideas and
fresh perspective – the life’s blood of any successful organization.
And we’re not done yet. It’s too early to celebrate, but we are in the midst of planning and negotiation
to expand our facilities to allow us to retain our existing Clubroom location while meeting the
demands of larger crowds – and provide some sorely–needed amenities. Hopefully the next issue of
this newsletter will provide all the details, and perhaps even some photos of the new space!
The Club’s website remains your single best and most up-to-date source of information on all things
CPS. Please keep www.clevelandphoto.org in your list of web favorites and visit often. You never
know what you might miss if you don’t. Hope everyone had a wonderful summer – and we hope to
see YOU frequently this fall!
Rob Erick
CPS President

PAST EVENTS
Humor, of the People's Choice Series
by Maria Kaiser
It was a great success! This time, members surprised us by presenting some very funny images. Some
talked about their images, which is always either entertaining or poignant and a few had few words.
One had no words at all but his photograph, touched up a tad, spoke volumes.
A complete listing of topics and explanations for Peoples Choice events for the upcoming Club year
has been sent to all members, but save the following dates and start thinking creatively:
November 21, 2008 – Architecture

May 8, 2009 - Blue, Blew, Bleu...
Photographic Equipment Auction
CPS Auction a Success!
On Sunday, August 24, a CPS tradition returned. For many years, the annual auction was a much-
anticipated event – offering an opportunity for fellowship and fun as well as the chance for members
to sell off equipment and accessories they no longer needed – and perhaps pick up a bargain or two
along the way as well!
5
This year, the gracious gift of the equipment, extensive library and other items from the Estate of
Charlie Casseau, several pieces from Charlie Cervenak’s Estate and some almost new equipment
from CPS Member Jim Fahey as he consolidates his household all provided a substantial impetus to
revive this long-standing CPS event.
At the end of the day, approximately $4,500 worth of equipment, accessories and 'miscellaneous' had
been sold – and a lot of people went home happy with the bargains they received!
If you weren't there, you missed out on obtaining a $1600 Nikon lens for $800, a virtually brand new
Nikon DSLR with lens and all accessories for $400 or a brand new Bogen tripod and pistol grip head
for $175. You also missed out on $5 circular polarizers, a library of photo books for $2 or $3 apiece
and lots of free stuff!
We're still working on a final tally of income for the Club, but the event will support our efforts to
expand the club facilities and help create a nicer environment for future meetings, school sessions and
other functions.
Sincere thanks go out to Ron Wilson, our able auctioneer, Brenda Gemeiner and Sonya Yost for
tagging and keeping track of item sales, Bert Klein, Jeff Wessel and Jill Stanphill for hours of work in
gathering and cataloging the larger collections of items, Barb Pennington (she of the hot-dog hat) and
Ken Dunn for keeping everyone fed – and all the others too numerous to mention who helped to
prepare for the auction, work during it and clean-up afterward. The event required many hands, and –
as usual – many hands were offered.
THANK YOU to all who helped!
Lake View Cemetery Clinic
On September 6, CPS conducted a free photo clinic for the general public at this Cleveland cemetery
famous for the Garfield Memorial, landscaping, sculptures and mausoleums. Despite threatening
weather, the event attracted serious interest from several photographers and directly led to at least
three additional students for the fall photo school programs. Plans are underway to provide a similar
event, perhaps next spring.

COMPETITION RULES- REVISION – For the rest of this CPS year, the Competition
Committee has voted to reduce the total number of entries that may be entered in any competition
to two (2). That includes Creative, Nature, People, Pictorial and Projection. The two images can
be any combination; color, black and white, slide (projection), nature, strict nature, through the
lens, through processing, etc. (Note that Projection competition still allows up to two 35mm
slides in addition to the two digital images)
CPS members have great enthusiasm for competitions. We also now brag about a membership of
more than 200! Since we are dedicated to using competitions not only to show our work and hope
for winners but also to learn more from one another's work though display and judges
constructive comments, we want to make sure there is enough time. Many would also like to get
home before midnight.
The Competition Committee will revisit this rule at the end of this CPS year and will be
interested before that, in hearing member's reactions to this reduction in numbers.
Any questions, please ask Maria Kaiser [email protected] (Competition Chair).

INFORMAL FIELDTRIPS
CPS has started these get-togethers that are basically no-rules fieldtrips. They are just members
getting together for the enjoyment of taking pictures on a date and place where something is going on.
For instance, on June 14, members met at Parade the Circle, on August 3, they headed to Brecksville
Kiwanis Horse Show and on August 30 at the Veterans Memorial Bridge for a tour of the lower level
trolley tracks.
PAST FIELDTRIPS – from May 20
through September 6
Cleveland Cultural Gardens
Coordinated by Bill Rittman
Photo by Thomas Legeza
On Sunday June 8, nineteen members of CPS toured The
Cleveland Cultural Gardens, using Lolly the Trolley to
transport us to the various gardens in Rockefeller Park for our
photo fieldtrip. The weather was warm, the sky bright but a
moderate breeze made the day pleasant.
7
The Cleveland Cultural Garden Federation provided a guide, Paula Tilisky, a docent, which made the
trip educational, telling us of the history as well as pointing out the best places to take photographs.
We first made a drive through the entire garden area and then on the second pass we stopped at
various points to wander through specific cultural gardens to get our images. Each garden is unique in
its design, many having statues or busts of their important historical people and showing their
national flags.
Our photo opportunities also included stops at the four 19th Century bridges designed by Cleveland
architect Charles Schweinfurth over Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
After a four-hour photo journey, several of the members gathered to have lunch at Frank Sterle’s
Slovenian Country House.
The trip has afforded us an opportunity to build a relationship with the Cleveland Cultural Garden
Federation. They have asked us to provide them with four images for their August publication as well
as to work with them in supplying images for their next year’s calendar.
Playhouse Square Theaters
On June 15 and August 10, a lucky group of CPS members and friends headed
to photograph the theaters of Playhouse Square in downtown Cleveland. Here,
Robert Angeles provides a backstage view, while another image appears on
the cover of this issue.
Train Station and Greenhouse
Poem and photo by Diane Funk
At the Station Stop!
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work we go... Oh No.
No work, that is, but sing along, enjoy another
CPS Sunday field trip. Learning is fun!
Sunday June 29 would it rain? Some thought
So and went to the Cleveland Greenhouse.
Some went to the Brecksville Station in the
Cuyahoga National Park and the sun came through.
We found a variety of subjects to photograph as:
Architecture as the station; engineering as the steel
And concrete bridges; nature: fields, forests,
Flowers, water; people: bikers, fishermen,
Hikers; the train: stopped and moving.
CPS offers the 1) reason to get to new locations,
And 2) the comradeship, and 3) helpful consultations
From other members is available, opening our visions
To new ways of seeing.
So if you feel like breaking into song, please do.
You may find others who will join in. Enjoy!

Member’s Profile
CPS’ ONLY FATHER-DAUGHTER COMBO
By Marcia Polevoi
Don and daughter Lynn Keller is the only father-daughter
member combo in CPS. Don joined CPS about 2 years ago;
Lynn joined a year ago. Don enjoys the various programs and
finds the club to be serious but also light-hearted. Both have
found the Club to be fun, with the bonus of meeting many
talented people.
9
Don’s first-remembered photography event was getting a developing kit for Christmas when he was
around 8-10 years old. He and a friend borrowed a camera and “just took pictures and I was mad
when they didn’t come out right.” Later in the Navy and after he married, he used a Kodak Retina,
model 3C. Took tons of slides, trying to be artistic, but the photos didn’t turn out that way... “Maybe
one would be good.” However, he made no effort during those years to learn more about
photography. His photos mostly amounted to family snaps, vacations, along with videos and movies.
After he got out of the Navy, he eventually ended up as a manufacturer’s rep selling production
machinery to build computers, retiring in 2004. He did pick up a Nikon 5700 digital camera in 2002
to use in his work. That really got him going again. After a trip to the Grand Canyon, he was hooked.
He started reading “Photography” magazines and learned about clubs. He joined the Western Reserve
Photography Club, then joined CPS because Friday night meetings worked better for him. (“Plus the
women are so beautiful, I couldn’t resist!”)
Don recently had a week’s trip with Radiant Vista going to Death Valley, “a phenomenal place to
take pictures.” During that week, the group was out in the morning shooting and the afternoon was
spent in class learning processing with Photoshop. “That,” says Don, “along with CPS meetings
makes me feel I’ve grown, with a better understanding of what makes a good photo. But I still have a
long way to go.” He bought a Nikon D300 six months ago and loves it. Always has had Nikons
because he “likes throwing money at Nikon.”
Shirley, Don’s wife of 45 years, is frequently seen at CPS meetings. She is now the snapshot taker for
vacations and family events. She and Don have traveled thousands of miles in the new RV they
bought in 2006 and recently toured the Southeast, and then headed north along the Atlantic Coast.
They are planning a Northwest trip in the fall. Don’s other major involvement is being active in his
church in Northfield Center. Along with daughter, Lynn, they have a son Chris, who is into
computers.
Something you don’t know about Don…he started taking clarinet lessons a year ago!
Meet daughter Lynn Keller. She was first introduced to photography by Dad (Don) in her teens when
he handed her a Polaroid camera. She took photos in black and white and took some classes in high
school. She liked doing it, but photography was on the “periphery of my life at that time.”
Skip forward many years later, when she got a Sony digital, putting floppy discs right into her
computer. Shot photos while on vacation in California and liked what she was getting, but needed a
better camera. On to a Sony Cybershot and taking a basic photo class at Akron U. Again, Dad handed
her down another camera, a Nikon Coolpix and she hasn’t been able to put a camera down since.
Lynn followed her dad’s preference for Nikon and now has a Nikon D100, lenses, etc. Her pictures
started improving. She joined CPS a year ago, after attending some meetings with her dad. Lynn has
benefited from lots of support and encouragement from her fellow CPS members. They have given
her loads of good advice.
She now does much with Photoshop which she learned on her own. Since joining CPS, her photos
have improved in composition, exposure, etc., so she began entering competitions, gradually getting
some 3rd and then 2nd places. “I’m still aiming for that blue ribbon,” she says.
Lynn’s other love is music and she plays in a rock band, based in Akron. When she was quite young,
she took violin lessons, then went on to learn guitar on her own. In the band, Lynn plays bass, which
again she taught herself. The band has been doing very well, playing a few gigs a month, mostly in
bars and clubs, and now producing a CD. Lynn does the publicity photos for the group. So, between
her real job, band rehearsals and photography, she is one busy lady! Plus taking care of her dog, one
of many pets she has rescued over the years.
10
Because Lynn’s favorite photo subjects are children and pets, she takes many of pictures of
neighborhood kids and does pet portraits for her friends. In fact, she has just shot her first wedding
gig and hopes to get more lined up.
As a CPS member, besides learning a great deal, Lynn likes the friendliness and sociability of the
club. She says “I enjoy being with a group of people who love photography.”
Something you don’t know about Lynn…..She makes candles for gifts and for sale when she has
time!
Member’s Travel
Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden
Text and Photos by Vicki Anderson
During one of the coldest Januarys on record (well, cold for Southern California), I made a trip to
Southern California. Along with my mother, we went to the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic
Garden, in Arcadia, a place that I visited many times with my parents years ago, when we lived in
California.
Rich in history, the L.A. arboretum is a place of magic and enchantment for this kid from Back East. The
lush and often unusual flora, both native to the area and from remote regions of the world, thrives in this
area. Paths, paved and primitive, snake through exotic gardens in this 100-plus acre historical preserve.
These richly diverse grounds did not go unnoticed. In the 1940s, Hollywood made several films. One of
Hope & Crosby’s “road” flicks were filmed here – “The Road to Singapore.” Many Tarzan movies were
shot by the “lagoon.” Even as a kid, I recognized some of those sites. The Queen-Anne cottage, which was
restored back in the 1950s, was the site for the opening scene for Fantasy Island.
In January, the winds provide a refreshing view of the Sierra Madres when standing at the highest point in
the arboretum. These winds keep the sky free of smog and the rains coming over the mountains cleanse the
air, and you can see the Sierra Madres in all of its dignity and glory.
The day we were there was chilly with intermittent rain. The dramatic color contrasts and changing skies
of January shows California as outsiders rarely see it and I watched in awe as these waves of changes
played out before me.
I took these photos with a Nikon D-50, in January of 2007, with no intention of displaying them in a
format like this. Hopefully, I brought forth the best of the arboretum shots (with Isabel’s help) and maybe
gave you just a wee taste of the area and the day I spent there.
I’m open to all comments and critiques. I’m a raw novice but love my Nikon D-50. I plan on many happy
years with it.

“If Trees…” by Shannon Rice
ART IN PHOTOGRAPHY
Continuing this series, an article by member John Earl Brown illustrating this topic.
CRITIQUING IMAGES
John Earl Brown
Each time a shutter clicks and an image is recorded either on a piece of film or a digital sensor, the
sum total of that photographer’s visual experience influences that image. Each time that image is
viewed by an observer; their visual history is unconsciously summoned by the brain to interpret that
image. An entire discipline – Gestalt – has been devoted to this area.
Every image, no matter how simple or straight forward, commands interpretation by the viewer. The
process begins unconsciously, but becomes quite conscious and methodical once the viewer is asked
to comment on the image. As judges, or someone who is asked to critique an image, we are expected
to be able to comment intelligently on that particular image. There are a myriad of approaches one
could take, but let’s look at some of the basic principles involved.
One can only comment about an image in three categories:
Context
Form
Content
Each of the above three areas have both primary and secondary levels.
Context
Primary context is any information the viewer may have about the maker; the production of the work;
how it has been previously received or viewed; the title, etc.
Secondary context is the philosophies, religious and political background of the viewing public or the
individual viewer. It is something that can be different with every viewer, thus making the
interpretations of art infinite. If a group such as a photo club is viewing the work, it can be their
expectations, standards, etc. as a group or as individuals.
.
13
Context influences content, as you will see in the discussion about content. It can move primary
content to secondary content.
Terry Barrett in his book “Criticizing Photographs” cites the example of a photograph by the famous
French photographer Robert Doisneau, “At the Café, Chez Fraysse, Rue de Seine, Paris, 1958.”
This image made by Doisneau appeared in a magazine in an article on French cafes. The picture was
sold and later appeared in a brochure citing the evils of alcoholism. It once again was published in a
gossip tabloid with the title “Prostitution in the Champs – Elysees.” This is a perfect example of how
context, such as a title, has a profound effect on secondary content.
While the modernist style subjugates context and looks more at the image itself, context is an
extremely vital aspect of the postmodern style. An example would be the series of tableau work by
the postmodern photographer Philip-Lorca diCorcia:
DiCorcia’s titles in this series of choreographed images contain the persons name, age, place and the
amount he paid them. For example, the title of the above is “Eddie Anderson, 21, Houston, Texas,
$20.” This contextual information has an important effect on the secondary content of this series.
Form
Primary form is a works color, light, shape, size, texture, technique, etc. To say a shape in an image is
organic, geometric, static or dynamic is to refer to primary form. When one talks about how one
individual form relates to another such as balance, composition, contrast, perspective, space, etc.; it is
referring to secondary form. Many people refer to these aspects as the pictures elements. Discussing
both primary and secondary form in critiquing an image is both relevant and gives insight to the
image.
When a viewer talks about how a shape is a particular thing, meaning has been assigned and one has
now moved from form to content, thus form plays a major role in creating content.
Content
Content refers to what an image says or means or the effects it produces on an observer. “Meanings”
refer to what the maker intended to convey. “Significances” are peculiar to the viewer (not intended
or controlled by the maker).
Content also has primary and secondary levels. Primary content refers to the literal events, facts,
objects, people, places, that are exactly what they represent. If something stands for or symbolizes
something else, then it is a secondary level of content. There are several ways primary content moves
14
to secondary content, but the most common is symbolism or the metaphor. There are conventions
which are common (and can be peculiar) among cultures. A person viewing a photograph of a
dandelion in seed can view it as literally a dandelion or metaphorically as fragility that eventually will
succumb to the wind. Certain colors in a photograph could be viewed as being patriotic in a certain
culture if they happen to be the colors in that countries flag (context affecting content). These
commonly known conventions are called tropes. Stieglitz called them equivalents.
Context, form and content interrelate to create a visual statement that goes beyond what is literally in
the image itself.
In critiquing an image, one approach would be to comment on the elements of the context, form and
content and how well they work to establish an image that has a strong idea and/or impact and is
original in thought, technique and/or form/content.
Two forms of critique that should be avoided are connoisseurship and intentionalism.
Connoisseurship involves only citing your personal preferences of the image such as saying “I like or
don’t like.” This provides more insight into the viewer’s personal taste than it does into the image
itself. Intentionalism involves the viewer trying to guess what the maker intended and then judging on
how effective the maker was in conveying it. The first obvious flaw in this approach is that the viewer
is making an assumption on what the maker intended.
No matter how objective we try to be as critics, our personal likes and or dislikes will still be present.
Terry Barrett in his book “Criticizing Photographs” provides the following insight by a philosopher
promoting aesthetic education named Harry Broudy that combines the critical thinking of the image
by the critic and the critics personal feelings about the work – “Broudy’s ‘Enlightened Cherishing’
1
is
a compound concept that combines thought (by the term enlightened) with feeling (by the term
cherishing). He reminds us that both thought and feeling are necessary components that need to be
combined to achieve understanding and appreciation. Criticism is not a coldly intellectual endeavor.”

CPS School Grows
by Kolman Rosenberg
During the past couple of years, the CPS school programs have grown tremendously! As most of you
know, the schools pay the rent and we are fortunate to have a permanent facility that can be used at any
hour, any day of the week, unlike most other photo clubs. The school makes this possible!
In the past, we had always run our schools, Fundamentals and Digital Editing, twice a year with the hope
of having a total of 80 students per year. This is what we needed for the rent and we usually just made
that target. Now, we run our schools three times per year and have had no trouble meeting our target. In
fact, two of our recent Fundamentals classes have numbered 54 and 40 students each!
I believe our phenomenal success can be attributed to a number of factors: 1. There are many more people
becoming photographers today and digital photography has a pretty steep learning curve. 2. During each
school session we are offering one of our courses on Saturdays when more people are available. 3. We
have continuously used our student’s feedback to improve our courses and to zero in on what our learners
need to know and how they want to learn it. 4. We have a great group of volunteer instructors and
assistants who are willing to give their time and knowledge in interactions with our students. This leads to
5. Our students often progress from Fundamentals to Digital Editing, join our Club, and introduce their
friends to our school and club.
A big thank-you goes out to all of our volunteer instructors and assistants who make this all possible. If
you are interested in helping out with the schools, make sure to talk to Bert Klein, Kolman Rosenberg,
Ron Wilson, or Rob Erick.

In Memoriam
Photojournalist Cornell Capa (brother of Robert Capa, a war photographer) died
May 23, 2008, at the age of 90. He also funded the International Center of
Photography, in New York City. He coined the phrase “The Concerned
Photographer” to describe a photographer’s whose work would contribute to the
understanding and wellbeing of humanity and “who produced images in which
genuine human feeling predominates over commercial cynicism or disinterested
formalism.” Complete articles about his work can be found at
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/24/arts/design/23cnd-capa.html?partner=rssnyt and
www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90805099.

Fall is here again – and soon will be winter – but we would like to remember those hot sunny summer
days that gave us so much opportunity for outdoor activities, among them taking photographs. Untitled
photo by David Houdek illustrates that theme wrapping up this “Darkroom Door” issue.
