<p>A new photographic community is starting in the Philadelphia area. Fans of the original NYC Photo League, who are based in this area, should definitely check it out.<br>

From the website...</p>

<blockquote>

<p>This group is being established to emulate the historic New York Photo League, which was - unfortunately - destroyed during the "red scare" of the 1950's, by the cold-war "witch hunts" of the time.<br>

The Photo League was a cooperative of amateur and professional photographers who banded together around a range of common social and creative causes. The League was active from 1936 to 1951 and included among its members some of the most noted American Photographers of the mid-20th century.<br>

Our mission is to recreate this unique environment, where all types of photographers, using all types of media, can gather together to share knowledge, ideas and inspiration - plus enjoy a sense of community, while fostering positive change in our world.<br>

If you are a devotee of documentary or street photography, and committed to social causes, please consider joining today.</p>
