On Saturday, October 24, 2026, Lancaster Photography Association will be heading down to Hollywood Forever Cemetery for their annual Dia De Los Muertos Celebration. We will have a grand time together learning about human interest/travel/portrait photography. All levels of photographers are welcome!

You must purchase your tickets on-line before the event. It does sell out, so make sure to purchase early! LINK TO TICKETS

We will meet at approximately 12:00 at the front entrance for a group photo and then explore the cemetery for wonderful costumes, performers and displays! There is so much to photograph. It should be a great time with unique photos around every corner! MORE INFORMATION

You will want to bring a wide-angle lens and perhaps mid-range (70-200), extra batteries and memory cards, water, sunscreen, and a hat (the weather may still be warm).

Parking is available in the Paramount Lemon Grove Structure, for the shortest walk to the cemetery.

Let us know you will be attending by commenting in the Comments section below. 

On October 27, 2026, Lancaster Photography Association will be learning how to critique our own images by having a "You Be The Judge" night. We will meet at the Antelope Valley Senior Center at 6:00 p.m. We hope to have a couple of the fair judges here to give input as well!

We need you to send in up to 5 images for critique. These can be photos you have entered at the fair or other competitions, or just photos you would like input about.

We will have a short presentation about judging criteria. Then we will go through the images you have sent in and ask for critiques from the members of the audience about each image. We will look for both positive critique and what could be improved for each image.

Learning what to look for in a competition image is very helpful in helping you progress as a photographer and entering competitions, such as LPA, S4C, PSA, PPA, or PPC. These skills also help you when you are out taking photographs and thinking about what you want your final photo to look like, adjusting your location, lighting, settings accordingly.

We will also have our normal Photosharing at the beginning of the workshop. Send up to 10 photos to Kathy by 10/26/2026.
