Shreveport Photographic Society

Jim Lawrence

Jim is a long standing, occasional competing member of the Shreveport Photographic Society whose primary current interest is Landscape, Travel and Documentary. He was introduced to photography in Viet Nam in 1969 with the purchase of an Olympus  Pen FT half frame SLR, with the idea of documenting the war with a half size camera. After returning to the states He became a member of the Lafayette Photographic Society and quickly learned what photography really was. Jim quickly found it is very hard to compete with half of slide and bought a full size SLR. He has been in club photography in Japan, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, and now back in Louisiana. Jim has held offices in every club that he has been in. He retired from service and bought a Studio, shooting mainly Commercial and Portrait work. While in Japan Jim taught photography courses leading students to obtain  AA degrees in photography from Los Angeles Community College Overseas.  Jim has held every office in SPS.
