From the President:
For the second year, CPA participated in the Town of Cary’s Spring Daze event at Bond Park on April 25th. Bhinesh Patel organized the volunteers, and I will let his words speak to the event’s success: “Cary Photographic Artists hosted a booth at this year’s Spring Daze Festival, supported by nine member volunteers throughout the day. Our new custom table banner greatly improved visibility, and we had steady engagement from visitors. The Instax portrait and selfie activity was a major hit. We took over a hundred photos. Some were pinned to our display board, while most were taken home as keepsakes. Kids especially loved the instant prints. We also handed out CPA stickers and postcards featuring member photos and a QR code to our website. The community response was warm and enthusiastic, with several visitors expressing interest in joining CPA.” A big THANK YOU to everyone who acted as a host during the event. Photos that you can actually hold in your hand have become quite a novelty in our cell phone-dominated world.
Henry Rinne, President

Evan Miller - Digital art/design and photography = small business
Herb Young Community Center - 101 Wilkinson Ave, Cary.
Evan Miller is a digital artist and designer from Chicago who recently relocated to the Triangle. Since 2018 he has been selling his art via online dropshops and through partnerships with brick and mortar small businesses in the Chicago area. In this presentation, he will talk about his experiences building a small business and selling his art through these channels while maintaining his 9-5 career, and the lessons he has learned along the way. While Evan is not a photographer, his presentation will focus on the aspects of his illustration business which can overlap with photography; such as social media promotion, online sales, and developing relationships with local businesses.
