From the Editor’s Desk

As you can see by both Rick’s message and other stories in this issue, CPS members work hard at becoming ever better

photographers. So many opportunities for learning are always scheduled on our calendar. A member can usually find a topic or workshop that will give good photographic assistance. However,

CPS is not all work and no play. We do know how to have a good time. There are potlucks, picnics, ice cream socials, holiday and Halloween parties. Almost all involve food (and lots of it) and some have games. We really do know how to enjoy ourselves as you can see in the Halloween photo layout below.

President’s Message

Competitions and exhibits are without a doubt a cornerstone of member’s interests and enjoyment, and to make these as professional as they are takes quite a bit of synergy.

This very Darkroom Door that we read every quarter is compiled by countless hours of editing and information gathering. Marcia Polevoi is the one name I will mention here. Marcia works behind the scenes to get this published every three months, begging and pleading all of us for information.

Lastly, all the events associated with this year’s 125th celebration must be mentioned. Hundreds of hours from those committee members and volunteers have been logged for all of us to bask in the enjoyment of such an accomplishment.

Summing this all up. CPS members would like to say thank you to all who are involved with the success and direction of our club. THANK YOU! You know who you are.

CPS President

A Pause to Say Thank You!In my last article, I wrote of the increasing level of membership that CPS has experienced in the past year and how that strengthens our club. Looking back on the first quarter of the year’s club calendar, it about makes your head spin to think that all those dates with events scheduled actually got executed. Please, go to the web page and just look at all the activities from January through March. I dare you! (See page 11 in this issue for a more in depth coverage of winter events).

Who Does All This?Well, a brief (and it deserves more than brief) explanation is a dedicated number of members who have a chance in their lives to enjoy their passion of photography through volunteering and teaching. It’s as simple as that.

I could go down a list and write here each member’s name who dedicates his or her time to the club, but I know I would miss one and that wouldn’t be fair. Though I will share some of the areas in the club where said members time and involvement make us what we are.

There are only 16 weeks of the year that CPS school teachers and coordinators are NOT involved with either the Fundamental Class or Photoshop Class that is taught in our clubroom. That means 36 weeks of the year members involved with our school are at the club making presentations.

Community Service events are covered 45 weeks a year with sometimes multiple events in a week. That takes a lot of coordination and communication.

I think but just a handful of weeks each CPS calendar year are without some sort of a field trip that has been aligned and scheduled.

Hospitality committee members perform some sort of service to the club and its membership every week of the year.

CPS Community Service

CPS Reaches Out to the CommunityJim Frazer, Community Service Chairman

The Community Service Team has been active in the first quarter of 2012. In this quarter, we provided photography service to twelve nonprofits: American Diabetes Association, Alzheimer’s Association, Broadview Heights, Cleveland Metropolitan School District, Famicos Foundation, Greater Cleveland Upside of Downs, Hands On Northeast Ohio, Lake Erie Nature and Science Center, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Shaker Lakes Nature Center, Special Olympics and United Way.

With multiple events for some of the organizations, we had Community Service volunteers covering 27 events over the first quarter.

Here are a few of the photographs taken by our volunteers.

Scavengers on the LooseMarcia Polevoi

The CPS Scavenger Hunt began as a germ of an idea in the mind of Rob Erick in the summer of 2010 as another way to celebrate CPS’s 125th anniversary. To help Rob get it going, Dave Brooks and Maria Kaiser joined him monthly to photograph all the nooks and crannies of downtown Cleveland for the images needed for the hunt. Of course, they came up with 125 images! The entire committee worked hard to get all the details and to set up this major operation. Eventually, all was worked out and the Scavenger Hunt opened on March 11th with about 400 contestants, so far. The hunt will run through November 4th.

Joining on as promotional partners are Downtown Cleveland Alliance and CoolCleveland.com. They agreed to help get the word out since the hunt is open to the public as well CPS members. Some of the scavenger committee members solicited prizes from downtown businesses and their efforts snagged lots of prizes worth several thousand dollars to be given to the winners.

Monthly field trips are being held in various downtown areas that will help those working on the hunt. The scavengers all wear buttons with the official Scavenger Hunt logo, created by Anita Orenick, to identify them when they are on the prowl.

This huge event could not have happened without the dedicated support of Randy Beiter. Randy designed a professional and fully functional website to support this task. The website helps with the dissemination of contest images and information, and provides a reliable way to capture the images that participants submit.

Many thanks are due to all the people who worked on the committee to make this colossal and unusual happening take place.

Of Interest to Members

CPS Historical EndeavorSteve Lucsik

For our 125th anniversary celebration, the CPS Historical Committee wanted to produce a short film that could be broadcast via the Public Broadcasting Station, put on YouTube, and recorded on a CD to share with new members.We searched high and low looking for a suitable partner in this endeavor. Time after time, the search came up empty, until finally, someone suggested we try the tech classes at local high schools. Our first and only stop was Mr. Bernie Van Tilburg’s media class at Cuyahoga Valley Career Center in Brecksville. After outlining our goals to the class, we were approached by two students, Kevin Fikar and Bob Kappan, who said, “We think we can do the job for you.”

With more details, the students set about the task of videographing over two-and-a-half hours of interviews, plus a number of CPS activities and field trips. In the meantime, CPS member, Ken Latman, set up an Internet Dropbox which collected over three hundred images submitted by members. Mark Coletta, Rob Erick, and Bert Klein guided us to many sources of archived material as well. Ken and I then embarked on the task of writing a script.The two students then took all the information collected to produce a montage. They were asked to use as many members’ photos as possible, highlight the photography, document the varied activities CPS sponsors,

CPS Exhibits All Around ClevelandDan Kozminski, Exhibit Chair

reflect the flavor and spirit of an organization that has evolved over the past 125 years, but they were to use very little dialogue! Oh, and by the way, keep the presentation under 18 minutes, please.After six weeks of tedious recording, arranging, re-arranging, editing, and re-editing, and with some advice from George Sipl...Mission accomplished! A seventeen-and-a-half-minute video was produced and will premiere at the 125th Anniversary and Awards Banquet in May. Kevin was the producer; Bob was the videographer with Mr. Van Tilburg supervising the project.

CPS opened its first exhibit at the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM) on Monday, January 9, 2012, with 60 images being displayed. A reception was held on Sunday, January 15th, with about 60 members and guests in attendance. Piano music was delightfully provided by an Institute student. The exhibit will remain on display until May 31st. CIM has invited us to return in 2013 with a new exhibit. Call for entries for this will go out in October 2012. Several images were sold. The next exhibit of 2012 was held at the Cleveland Public Library from Saturday, January 14th through March 31st. There were 40 images on display. The opening reception was attended by about 40 members and

guests. CPS President Rick Wetterau gave a presentation about CPS and its history. Again, about five images were sold. The judge for both of these exhibits was Marcella Hackbardt, Professor of Art and Photography at Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio.Cleveland Hopkins Airport will be the next site for an exhibit coming up Wednesday, August 1st. This show, titled “Many Faces: A Celebration of Diversity,” will run through October 31st. Entries were submitted by 60 members, with 50 images chosen by our outside judges. They were: Dan Levin, Associate Professor of Visual Arts, Tri-City Community College; Mike Ormiston, photographer for American Greetings Corp.; and

Shelly DiCello-Ahern, Visual and Performing Arts Department Chair at St. Joseph Academy. After the review of airport personnel, the work of 42 CPS members will be displayed at the entrance of Concourse A and on the ticketing level. Farther into the future, University Hospitals has asked CPS to return for a second time. The exhibit will open Friday, January 11, 2013, in the Humphrey Atrium Gallery on the main campus. Forty prints will be selected. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, January 12th and the show will run through March 7th. The call for entries will go out this October.

Thanks to the many volunteers who help put up and take down our various exhibits.

Newsy Notes about CPSMarcia Polevoi

The winter quarter was chock full of workshops, talks, and other learning opportunities. Thanks to the many CPS members who volunteered. • First up were several workshops on

“How to Pose for Photography.” Dan Le Hoty and Nancy Balluck led two sessions. This workshop aided participants in how to pose your model and communicate with your subject. Five small stations were set up in the clubroom, with models demonstrating six different lighting situations. People then moved to another table every 20 minutes.

• This was followed by Dan Le Hoty offering practice studio shoots with photo reviews. On another date, Nancy Balluck led a presentation on Lensbaby and on the Portrait Professional program.

• Early in February, Mark Coletta conducted a Lightroom workshop.

This session looked at the Library and Develop modules. Discussion centered around how to use the tools in Develop and other topics relating to both.

• An enlightening and entertaining presentation was given on a Sunday morning in February by Nuel Pagayo of Portland, Oregon. He is a portrait photographer, who creates compelling images by combining unique lighting, intriguing themes and creative image production-work. Among the many topics covered were triggering and grip, finding your exposure, composition and understanding your histogram in-camera. You can see his interesting portraiture at his website:

www.shuttercrazephotography.com

• Zach Bright led a program on Multiple Exposure and Debbie DiCarlo led another one on

Star Trails. Dale Simmons also presented a program on color management. Jeff Gibson had an evening to talk about HDR. And Jim Frazer had a workshop on Color Management as well – From Camera to Print.

• To lend some information on competitions, Glenn Petranek and Steve Manchook conducted a program on “You Be the Judge.” Both Glenn and Steve have judged at many club competitions throughout Northeast Ohio. This informative meeting was aimed at how you, too, could become a judge. It was a night of education and fun in the art of judging.

All these people mentioned above are part of a vital, committed bunch of CPSers who make sure that the clubroom is never idle. This is just part of what makes CPS so unique among photo clubs.

Field Trips

CPS in the RoundJohn MacKenzie

Located on the southeast corner of Euclid and Ninth Streets is a small building that has a strong sense of Cleveland’s history. Its heavy sandstone structure with numerous pillars and decorative detail are evidence of its importance in Cleveland’s early banking activity. It was built in 1905 as headquarters for Cleveland Trust, whose business name has changed many times over the years. To one’s surprise, the exterior gives no indication of what’s inside.

Standing on the first floor gives one a clear unobstructed view of the famous huge glass dome, three-and-a-half stories above, spanning about 40 feet in diameter. The dome is actually under the building’s roof, lighted from above by lights above the dome but under the roof. People have wondered if the dome was a Tiffany glass piece because of its many similarities, but it isn’t.

The circular dome shape sets the stage for the building’s interior design. It has a clear airshaft extending from the first floor up through two floors to the dome itself. This design led to its nickname, “The Cleveland Rotunda.” The first floor was the main banking floor with teller stations on one side and offices on the other. In

the floor’s center is a large cast-brass emblem with the name Cleveland Trust directly under the center of the dome. The second floor was the highest floor open to CPS photographers. The third floor walls are covered by murals painted by noted artist Francis Millet, who later lost his life on the Titanic.

The basement is a labyrinth of intricately built safes. The largest safe was designed to secure safe deposit boxes. The door is about nine-and-a-half feet in diameter and two-feet thick, with intricate clock controlled and other locking

mechanisms.

This photo opportunity was arranged by Bob Boyle along with the support of Rob Erick, Steve and Charmane Lucsik, and Vic Evcic during the shoot.

Clayton Rung used a Tamron 10-22mm lens to capture the full circle of the dome in the Cleveland Trust Rotunda.

Field TripsContinued

CPS Covers Cleveland – Camera in HandMarcia Polevoi

More than 100 members and guests had a great time at the Great Lakes Science Center on Sunday, February 19th. There they wandered around checking out the displays. Many went to see the OMNIMAX movie “The Coral Reef.” The traveling exhibition was Goose Bumps! The Science of Fear. This had fun, interactive, fear challenges where one could get up close and personal with live, creepy creatures and experience the science behind fear. It was one great field trip!

CPS found several other great indoor field trips. Some of these were for students of our school classes along with members who wished to attend. The purpose of these school trips is for students to practice techniques they learned in classes. Lunch usually followed these excursions. One was to the Old Arcade in downtown Cleveland. It is a beautiful example of Cleveland architecture. Another trip was to the Cleveland Greenhouse, which offered good up-close practice. Exploring more of downtown Cleveland, students and members descended on Burke Lakefront Airport. They explored both inside and outside the terminal.

CPS also visited Lake View Cemetery on a pleasant day in March. The cemetery has many unusual places for trying out different angles and shots, especially when the gardens and daffodils are in full bloom.

Mr. Latman, I Presume?Steve Lucsik

Meet Ken Latman:In the short year and a half that Ken Latman has been a member of CPS, he has been involved in a number of club activities—most notably the “Club House of the Future” animation video for the CPS 125th Anniversary Banquet. Ken heard about CPS from a “This Week in Photography” podcast, tracked it to Ron Skinner’s web page, and from there was led to the CPS home page. He was drawn by the prestige and reputation of the club and the variety of activities it offers. He really likes the field trips and enters some competitions.Originally from Connecticut, Ken left mom, dad, and grandma and headed off to Kent State University for a degree in Studio Arts. It was a highly accredited visual arts program that tremendously improved his skills in drawing and composition. Ken loves his work and living in northern Ohio, but he misses home cooking...especially grandma’s mashed potatoes. She gave him her recipe, which he uses, but the mashed potatoes just aren’t the same without grandma’s thumb in the mixing bowl! He also loves his mom’s meatloaf, but no veggies, please.Very early in his career, he started working for a color separation house for wallpaper coverings. There he got a very intense immersion into all aspects of Photoshop. Then, as now in his current job, he is known as the “Mac guy.” For the past 13 years, Ken has worked for RGH Enterprises where he produces in-house corporate videos for training and employee education. He started out as the “web guy” and now produces

several video and animation projects a year.He has a brother living in Washington, D.C., and a sister in Boston, Massachusetts.His favorite TV shows are Fringe and Grimm. Favorite movies are sci-fis like Avengers, Blade Runner, and, wouldn’t it figure, most animations. He’s a big Looney Tunes fan, while

Catch 22 is his favorite book and Bloom County, Far Side, and political cartoons tickle his funny bone. Somehow these “likes” all seem to fit and accent his quick wit and wry sense of humor. Since Ken lives on the borders of North Royalton and Strongsville, his preferred pastime is walking through the Metro Parks to find the unusual in the usual. His favorite trips are to National Parks especially in Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. He hopes one day to travel through the U.S. photographing Roadside America with its unique roadside attractions. For the 125th anniversary video, which will show the future clubroom of 2087, Ken based his creation on illustrations and photographs of the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, given to him by Joe Polevoi. From these he created a 3D program and animated it with a “fly through” sequence. But Joe wanted a BIGGER clubhouse! So Ken added a rotunda with a spiral showcase to the other rooms. At work Ken uses a Canon 7D for pictures and videos. His personal camera is a Pentax K5. He totally enjoys the CPS club experience.

Life is your art.

An open, aware heart is your camera.

A oneness with your world is your film.

Your bright eyes, your easy smile is your museum.
