ABOUT

PODS, aka the Photographers of Dripping Springs, is an organization of local community members from Dripping Springs and the surrounding areas. PODS is banded together for business, networking, and education.

Membership in the group is available to anyone interested in photography by joining the group and paying annual dues. Members will have their contact information displayed on the PODS website @ http://Photographersofds.us and be included in the groups activities.

We meet every 4th Thursday of the month(except in November and December) at the Holy Spirit Episcopal Church located at 301 Hays Country Acres Rd in Dripping Springs, Texas. Meetings start at 6:30pm and end at 8:00pm.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Photographers of Dripping Springs (P.O.D.S.) are both amateurs and professionals, who meet regularly to learn, to shoot and to share our photography.

Our activities include regular monthly meetings, field trips, workshops and other learning opportunities, exhibitions, and support of local civic organizations.
