Mission Statement: PSRI, the Photographic Society or Rhode Island has
been in existence since 1927. During that time, it has changed its name
and meeting location but never its spirit. PSRI is the premiere camera
and photographic society in Rhode Island, dedicated to excellence in the
art and craft of photography. The group arguably represents the best
photographic talent in the state and the membership has been growing
every year. You may enjoy reading the short document titled “A Brief History of PSRI “.
Number of members: 175
What
is something about your club we might not know?: PSRI hosts the Ocean
State International Exhibition of Photography, one of only two PSA
sanctioned Internationals in New England. PSRI has had many, many Pro
Photographers, too many to mention without risking omitting anyone, who
have visited PSRI to conduct local New England educational shooting
workshops and special PSRI meeting presentations. PSRI has a policy of
opening our special shooting workshops & meeting presentations to
any of NECCC associated camera club members. PSRI is also about giving
back to the community. In 2012 three PSRI members mentored a group of
sixteen Girl Scouts. The organization were celebrating their 100th
anniversary and wished to have a Photography Exhibit “Year in the Life
of Girl Scouting” at their Waterfire event. See more details at: http://www.psri.us/2012/09/3340/.
Three words that best describe your camera club: The 3 E’s - Education, Enjoyment, Encouragement.
