YPS has moved to a better location

YPS has moved to a better location, to the same building from which it was operating for over 10 years at State Youth Center. At the State Youth Center, YPS will now be having a much larger hall for the YPS Meets and can accommodate 100-150 people at a time eliminating the inconvenience the YPS Members have been putting up with all these days. We can now operate on a larger scale and we certainly look forward to more active participation. The next program, Member Picture Discussion on October 29th  will happen at the new location.

The new address is :

State Youth Center of Karnataka, 3rd Floor, TT Hall, Nrupathanga Road, Bengaluru – 560042.

Nearby landmarks: Reserve Bank of India, KR Circle, Cubbon Park, YMCA.

Find the place on Google Map.

The office is reachable from KR Circle side as it is a one way. There is adequate parking available at the location.

The Executive Committee members have already vacated the old place at Kanteerava Stadium and moved everything to the hall at State Youth Center.

This move should put us all in a higher gear.

IMGP8627 Satish and BaronetSeptember was full of actions and programs. A hectic month for the ever energetic team to organize things. In fact, we have become more prone to urgent meetings and working on tight schedules. A 9-member team went to Jaisalmer for desert photography workshop and came out with loads of colorful fantastic images. Five of them traveled further to the popular National parks and have captured some interesting images of the wildlife of Rajasthan. A session on this experience will be arranged in the near future. While half of the committee members were busy shooting in Rajasthan, our mercury-like member Mr. Vikas was busy arranging a Photography Contest on ‘Karnataka’ with the Department of Karnataka Tourism. We are privileged to have been associated with the Department of Karnataka Tourism and remarkably the contest and exhibition was completed within an extremely short span of one week!! Pooh! Hats off to Mr. Murali Santhanam, who created a separate website overnight for the contest and published the details instantly in both YPS and Karnataka Tourism websites. YPS also got very good publicity in the media. Thanks to Murali and Vikas for their excellent work in this regard. The Minister for Tourism, Sri. Priyank Kharge and the Director of Tourism Dr. N. Manjula, both appreciated the pictures and the work done by YPS. Sri. T. Kempanna, Sri. Giri Cavale and Dr. Manoj C. Sindhagi were the judges. Thanks to all for the cooperation and support.

Friends, keep yourself free for all the programs scheduled for the month of October 2016, as we have lots of them, to keep you busy and improve learning. If you really want to gain knowledge and inspiration in the ‘Art of Photography’, don’t miss any of these! Since we celebrate NAVARATHRI festival – feast for your stomach with “Habbada oota” and feast your EYES at YPS, through presentations.

HAPPY NAVARATHRI AND DEEPAVALI TO ALL !

The month of August being, Shraavana masa, an auspicious month for Hindus, was also auspicious for photographers as well, due to World Photography Day celebrated very grandly on 20th and 21st August 2016.

We are also having fantastic programmes for all of you enthusiastic members with a variety of workshops and outings. When YPS was in bad shape for some time, members were complaining of lack of programmes, workshops and activities. Now the present committee is striving hard to organize quality programmes for the benefit of its members. It is for you to utilize it properly and attend these programmes to gain photographic knowledge. There are immense learning opportunities for all of you.

An 8-member group is attending Desert Photography Workshop at Jaisalmer from 8th to 17th Sept 2016. Those who have missed don’t get disheartened since there is another opportunity waiting for you. The Federation of Indian Photography Convention is scheduled for 9 to 11 December 2016 in Udaipur, Rajasthan. Check their website and plan well in advance to assure your participation.
