Report of Curator of Photographic Section. 



The Photographic Section made their Annual Outing on 

 the 30th of May, to the vicinity of Morrow, Warren County, 

 Ohio. The day was a great success socially, and a large 

 number of members and their friends took advantage of the 

 occasion to spend a few hours in the woods and fields. Some 

 excellent photographic work was done. 



The Annual Exhibition of lantern slides has not yet been 

 held, but has been fixed for Friday evening, April 27, 1894, 

 and the prospects for a good exhibition are very promising. 



It is my duty to report that a number of articles in the 

 way of apparatus have mysteriously disappeared from the 

 operating rooms of the Section during the past year, and 

 some system of oversight should be inaugurated by the 

 Directors. 



The recommendation that the constitution or rules of the 

 Society should be so changed as to allow the prorating of 

 dues is also submitted. 



When a new member joins the Society he should not be 

 charged for that portion of the year which is past. This 

 very rule has been the cause of more dissatisfaction and the 

 loss of more members than anything else I know of. 



To be of any service to the members of the Photographic 

 Section, the operating rooms should be kept clean and warm 

 at all times. 



In conclusion, I will add that while the membership has 

 fallen off and the general interest in the art has declined, 

 there has been more good work done in photography the past 

 year than ever before in the same period of time. 



Respectfully submitted, 



H. J. BUNTIN, 

 Curator Photographic Section.
