About Yankee Photographic Society

Yankee was a diverse group of New England photo enthusiasts who met twice a year for over thirty years for photographic exchange of ideas and workshops. Attendees came from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York. The seminars were scheduled in the spring: usually in March or April, and also in the fall, either in November or December.

Programs included guest speakers, model and child portraiture, slide, print, and digital mini salons, The Greater Lynn International, and setups such as glassware, still life, blacklight, mylar, and pet photography. Registrants were encouraged to bring their camera, lens, and film or digital media to photograph the setups.

The seminar registration cost was kept as low as possible. A group of about 50-60 volunteers helped run the popular programs. Even the lunch buffet was a real bargain at $6.00 per person.

The spring 2009 Yankee Potpourri of Photography Seminar was the last all day event in 30 years of service to the photographic community. A variety of reasons have caused this, but mainly, the school itself was going to be unavailable for an extended period of time for renovation. We owe a debt of gratitude to Jon Hannaford for his efforts as our inside representative, and to the New England Camera Club Council, the Greater Lynn Photographic Association. and members of the model and Hi-jinx committees for making their equipment available to us over the years. Yankee was made up of a group of dedicated volunteers, most of whom have been with the organization the full 30 years. Our thanks go out to them.

Please note: Though Yankee has disbanded we are still using the high school for selected programs.

We will open the afternoon at 1:00PM with a teaching presentation on judging. This program will be presented by Dan Charbonnet, FPSA, MNEC, Sarah Musumeci MNEC and Shiv Verma, MNEC This will be a panel presentation telling you about all the unique and different aspects and ways images are judged. They will go into what does well and what the judges look for in Nature, Photo-Travel, and Photojournalism. Also discussed will be the different types of judging; club, interclub, Internationals, and outside magazine type of contests. Judging is a very subjective thing, but this program should help you understand why your images score as they do, and what you need to do to make them more interesting to the judges to get better scores.Your three presenters are accomplished photographers covering a wide spectrum of subject matter, and are all uniquely qualified to teach this presentation..

At 2:30 PM until about 4PM we will show the 34th Greater Lynn International Exhibition, made up of the best images entered into the exhibition, on every subject matter and from all over the world. These will be images set to music in a spectacular multi-media presentation produced by Dan Charbonnet, FPSA, MNEC and Barbara Rozavasky MNEC.

Exhibition catalogs will be available to the entrants at the show, and we will present medals to any medal recipients who might be present.

Hunt's Photo may also be there that day with lots of photo bargains for you at their table.
