A Message From PHSNE President Joel Moses

In 2022, a new president will assume the leadership role in my stead, and I will become immediate past president to assist. The past four years have been truly exciting for me as I learn more about the photographic arts.

With the New Year comes new opportunities for PHSNE to get classic camera equipment and images into the hands of the membership and photo enthusiasts around the country and beyond. As a result of the pandemic, such opportunities declined somewhat, but other possibilities emerged.

With my sales hat firmly in place, PHSNE has expanded online relationships with vintage camera users around the world, finding new homes for photographic memorabilia across the globe via the internet. Some equipment that comes into the warehouse through donations also goes out as donations to classroom teachers and users around New England and to multiple users around the USA and in foreign countries. The number of repeat clients is exciting and rewarding.

My thanks go out to the PHSNE members who have supported activities at the warehouse by keeping it (somewhat!) organized, and uncovering a host of treasures to be put to use by photography aficionados. In the process, lasting friendships have developed and evolved.

I am eagerly looking forward to continuing the work with all of you! Thank you for the support that has been provided!

~ Joel Moses, President
