Leave your technical manuals behind - this group is for those interested in photography as an art form. Although we recognize the importance of the craft of photographer we feel that the craft is already very well catered for by a plethora of meetups and camera groups in the New England Region.

We won't be talking about camera settings, lenses, tripods or equipment, we will be discu …

Fact: Cats don’t socialize the way dogs do. Which means cat people don’t have social outlets like obedience classes and off-leash parks where they can share stories about their furry children, find out who the best vet and/or pet-sitter in the area is, and lots of other useful things. This Meetup group is looking to change that. If you are an aficionado of the feline, rather than the canine, version of a family pet – and especially if you are owned by more than one cat – this is the place to get …
