| In May 2000 CAPS paid a visit to the Gettysburg, Pennsylvania studio of Rob Gibson where they were amazed by a stunning demonstration of wet collodian photography. Several of the members sat for wet plate ambrotype portraits. On the left some of the members pose for a group photograph before the ambrotypes were made. On the right is one of the ambrotypes with a phrenology theme. | |

The Society meets from time to time in the homes of members. On the left a member shares photographic novelty items from his collection. |
 For
the last 5 years the club has revived an earlier tradition of holding
a yearly picnic at the home of a member. At the 2001 picnic, members
Jack and Beverly Wilgus demonstrated their tent camera obscura for
the group. |

The
Chesapeake Antiquarian Photographic Society held its charter
meeting in 1971. Preliminary meetings the year before resulted
in the choice of officers, William Klang, pictured on the left
as president and Eskin M. "Red" Ohlson on the right as
Secretary-Treasurer.

CAPS picnic.
