The focus for the 2004-2005 year is Photo Essays. Whether a project grows out of that focus is not yet known.

The 2003-2005 project was Barns of Berkshire County

The club's members photographed barns around Berkshire County during two years from the Fall of 2003 through the Spring of 2005. Several presentations during those two years were focused the barn project. Matting materials were donated by a member and frames were purchased from American Frame. Also, all barn photos were viewed by the club members in the Spring of 2005. Member Ruth Abele spear-headed the project and is to be commended for her efforts.
The culmination of the Barn Project was framed photos of barns hung in four of the Berkshire Bank branches during March, 2005. Photographers exhibiting in the Berkshire Bank branches were:
