The MOUNTAIN ARTS PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY (MAPS) was founded in 2010 as an all-volunteer, and a non-profit organization for photographers wanting to expand their knowledge. MAPS became a place where local photographers living and working in the Southern California communities of the San Bernardino Mountains could come together to share ideas, knowledge, and fellowship. The clubs data-base span of membership grew to over sixty people. The average attendance at a monthly meeting is between twelve and twenty members. The photographic proficiency of the members range from beginners and intermediate level photographers to seasoned professionals. Some club members have become involved in galleries, shows, and competitions as a result of their time spent with the MAPS club.
