MAPS offers free workshops to expand our members' photographic knowledge and experience. These workshops are presented by MAPS members who generously donate their time and expertise and all MAPS members in good standing can sign up. Any notes and handouts from workshops are made available to all members through this website. See individual workshop listings for details.
You don’t need to be an expert to present at a workshop, just have a willingness to share some knowledge. If you are interested in doing so, please contact Roger Mattingly.
