Charter Members

Membership in the new Photographic Society was by invitation only during the early years and its list of charter members included mostly professional photographers; only two, Hank Rush and Bill Razey, were amateurs. Of the charter members, a few (less than half) came from the Shreveport Camera Club and the rest were working pros from the Shreveport area who were invited to join.
