Introducing the Annual CAPA Photo Walk

A Coast-to-Coast Celebration of Photography

Mark your calendars!
On Saturday, September 20th, 2025 CAPA is proud to launch the inaugural CAPA Photo Walk.
A new annual tradition that brings photographers together from coast to coast, and everywhere in between. From the East Coast to the West, from the southern border to the northern reaches, this is a day to celebrate photography, community, and creativity.
The CAPA Photo Walk will take place every year on the third Saturday of September, and everyone is invited to join — CAPA members, non-members, photo clubs, camera enthusiasts, and curious beginners alike.
Organized and hosted by CAPA’s dedicated Zone Directors, this national event is about getting out in your local community to enjoy a walk, take photos, connect with fellow photographers, and capture the beauty of Canada through your lens. Whether you’re shooting landscapes, urban life, wildlife, or candid street moments, your perspective matters.
To help celebrate this initiative, we are offering a limited-time 20% discount on new individual memberships for non-members who participate in the walk. It’s a perfect opportunity to get involved, meet like-minded people, and become part of Canada’s leading photographic association.
We encourage all groups to submit a selection of their photos to CAPA after the walk — these images will be showcased in our Winter issue of the CAPA magazine, highlighting participation from across the country and celebrating the diverse talent within our photographic community.
Let’s make this first CAPA Photo Walk one to remember — and build a new annual tradition that grows stronger each year.
Get ready to walk, shoot, and share!

Club Meeting - Photoshop Presentation - Submit Your Photos!
2025-10-14 19:00 - 21:00 | Pinetree Secondary School, 3000 Pinewood Ave, Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada
We’re excited to announce that Steve Kazemir will be leading a special presentation focused on creating composites in Photoshop during our upcoming club meeting. This is a fantastic opportunity to see how multiple images can be artfully combined into a single, cohesive piece using advanced editing techniques.
To make the session as engaging and personalized as possible, Steve is inviting members to submit photos that they would like him to use as examples during the demonstration. These images will serve as the foundation for the composites he’ll build, offering valuable insights into his creative process and technical approach.
📅 Submission Deadline: To ensure he has ample time to prepare, please send your photos no later than October 7th. The earlier you can submit, the better—it gives Steve more flexibility to select and plan around the images.
💬 Got Photoshop Questions? In addition to working on your submitted photos, Steve is happy to address any Photoshop-related questions you might have. Whether it’s about tools, techniques, or troubleshooting, feel free to include your queries when you send your images.
📥 Where to Send Your Photos and Questions: Please email your submissions and questions to competitions@tricityphotoclub.ca.
Also at this meeting, Mona D’Amours will be giving a 30 minute presentation on tips for selecting a photo for competition.

Club Meeting - Ethan Zargo: Black & White Fine Art Architectural Photography
2026-05-12 19:00 - 21:00 | Pinetree Secondary School, 3000 Pinewood Ave, Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada
Ethan Zargo: Black & White Fine Art Architectural Photography

Ethan Zargo moved to Malaysia as a teenager, earned a computer-engineering degree, and later relocated to Canada and studied photography at Langara College. He went from student to working photographer to instructor at the same institution where he learned his craft.
Early in his photography career, Ethan was active in Delta Photography Club and CAPA, earned recognition from the North Shore Photographic Society, and became a CAPA-certified judge. Then he stepped away from the club scene for over a decade, not because he lost interest, but to focus on actually doing the work.
That work has taken Ethan through underwater, X-ray, aerial, black-and-white fine art, product, and architectural photography. His recent projects have earned the 2025 Applied Arts Award for Architectural Photography and honourable mentions from the Black & White International Photo Awards in architecture and sport categories. Now Ethan is looking forward to reconnecting with the photography community.
For more information about Ethan and his work, visit his website at https://www.ethanzargo.com
