I have been to a couple of their events included the national meeting in Wetzlar and the spring shoot in New Orleans. To be honest, I'm not sure about renewing my membership. Madge is a sweet person and I've enjoyed meeting some of the members, particularly while in Germany, but LHSA doesn't really offer me much. The organization is aging, and while I'm not exactly a spring chicken, I usually feel out of place at the gatherings. With the exception of the amazing photograph presentation at the Wetzlar meeting by Richard Kalvar of Magnum Photos (who I understand to have been a last minute substitute), the focus of other events missed me. Unless LHSA can come up with a way to attract more (and younger) members, I fear that is it slowly dying on the vine.
