OSPS - General
Information
- History: The Ohio Stereo Photographic Society was formed in May
1997 to promote stereoscopic photography among its
members and to the general public. A short summary of the club's
beginnings was published in the Stereogram in June 2007, to celebrate our
10th year anniversary. "After driving with me to Detroit for
two years, Jim Motley came with the idea of starting a Stereo Club in
Cleveland. This was back in Fall of 1996. [...] Jim and I felt that there
was sufficient interest to start a club in Cleveland. All we needed was a
few dedicated members at first. Having the Detroit club as a model, we
knew that once the club is formed and operates, the "magic" of
stereo photography can attract new members." You can

* Starting in the 2012-2013
season, meetings start half hour earlier, at 7:00 pm. We will use the first 30
minutes for opening remarks, introducing guests and general 3d
announcements. The program will not start before 7:30. Programs subject to changes - Please read newsletter or
contact Officers for final details
** All meeting are the First
Tuesday of the month, except for the January meeting which is the 2nd Tuesday,
since the first falls on holiday (Jan 1). Also, please note that the date
for the June meeting this year (June 4) is in conflict with the NSA convention
(June 4-10 in Traverse City, MI) so it was moved two weeks forward.
| Stereo Competitions: Each member can enter up
to 3 images with the assigned theme. Awards are
given to 20-40% of the entries. Members accumulate
points throughout the year. Results are published
in the newsletter. |
| Member's Presentations/Open: Members are
encouraged to sign up for (short) programs with an
underlying theme, or just bring a few slides to project.
Stereo prints and stereo-related items for a short
"show & tell" during the break are welcome
at all meetings and can be placed at the available
tables. |
