Heavy rains did nothing to dampen the mood of NYC Photoblogger 7. Jay Parkinson, Kevin Walsh, Ed Leveckis, Matt Weber and Justin Ouellette formed one of the most talented panels presenting at the Soho Apple, to date. Amit Gupta provided a very entertaining presentation as he explained his photography site.
It was another smashing success at the SoHo Apple store Friday night. Jake did an excellent job hosting and the presenters were informative and more entertaining than usual. The question of the night was "What was your most harrowing experience as far as being hassled as a street photographer?". The answers ranged from being kidnapped to the "if looks could kill" variety. There was plenty of lively discussion about it at the Merc bar afterwards. Corrie and Lex provided great insight into developing a project. Joe Holmes provided us with glimpses into his passions. Noah Kalina showcased NYC's restaurant interiors. Tod Seelie exposed some of the more unusual party scenes and events of Brooklyn. Jimmie Yoo uncliche'd some of NYC's night shot and Reza Mazaheri treated us to his insightful portraits and wry wit.
Last Friday was NYC Photobloggers 5 at the Apple Store in Soho. As usual Jake did his bang up job of hosting the event, along with Jen Bekman it made for a memorable evening. Work flows and photographic processes were discussed by Sean Sheridan, Marcin Wojcik, Frank Kolodziej and Dave Martinidez. Lia Bulaong's presentation probably stirred a little envy in the throng and wondering when her next project will take place. Masood Kanmandy's presentation was nothing short of inspiring and I think I'll make a special effort to go to First Light: Teaching Photograph in Kabul exhibition and fund raiser.
