The theme for our October 2020 photo quest is “Spooky“. Just like in September, there will be no example photo and no hints on how to potentially interpret the theme – we do not want to prime or influence anyone’s creative mind and vision but… come on, “spooky?” How hard can it be to come up with a photo for that theme, in October?! 😅 We’re expecting lots of submissions, people!

Photo Quest September 2020: Glass
The theme for our September 2020 photo quest is “Glass“. Unlike previous quests, we’re skipping the example photo and any hints on how to potentially interpret the theme – we do not want to prime or influence anyone’s creative mind and vision. Think about “glass”, and how to represent it, photographically, creatively, artistically, with the camera – and then go out and make photos!
Photo Quest August 2020: Freeze!
It’s August and in the heat and (hopefully also) monsoonal humidity of summer, we’re asking you to FREEZE! for our monthly photo quest.
Photo Quest July 2020: Visitors
After our “archive dive” in June 2020, we’re back to our regular photo quest routine: if you want to submit a photo, you need to be an SCPS member in good standing, and your photo must be new, and made specifically for our photo quest. The theme for July 2020 is…

For this month’s photo quest though, we want you to go back into your archives as far as possible. We’re calling it…
Archive Dive!

Photo Quest May 2020: Seeing The Light
Photography, the word itself meaning “light drawing”, is all about the light of course. For our May 2020 photo quest, we’re looking for photos where you can “see the light” as it manifests itself as more than just a source of illumination for your photographic subjects. We want the light to be the subject.
Photo Quest April 2020: In the Kitchen
All good parties begin and end in the kitchen. Why shouldn’t photography happen there too? We’re sure that you’ll have no problem submitting a photo for our April 2020 Photo Quest, with the theme: “In The Kitchen”.
Photo Quest March 2020: Macro & Close-Up
Spring in Southern California, with its blooms of wildflowers, bushes and shrubs alike, with morning dew on fresh growth and if we’re lucky a bit of rain as well, is a great time to make macro & close-up photos. And if the weather is really too bad to be outside, you can explore the details of everyday objects inside your house – or whatever you want to inspect up close with the camera for our March 2020 photo quest:
