Photoplus Expo and New York City
New York City. I love New York almost as much as Paris! Any kind of food you want you can find. Looking for a whatchamacallit to go in a whosudunit? You can find it. Looking for a great image to take? There is an unlimited number of subjects everywhere you turn!
The Expo was kind of cool. Lots of companies there hawking their wares. Scott and I met with Doug Murdoch, the President of Think Tank Photo - he's one of our Facebook buddies! Great guy and he has terrific products! We also saw Joe McNally and Scott Kelby giving short seminars on lighting techniques. We met with Jim Garner, a Seattle-based wedding photographer after he gave a talk about his wedding portraiture style. We picked his brain a little for new ideas...
We spent a lot of time just walking around the Expo and then around Manhattan shooting. Central Park was beautiful! We had a gorgeous fall day on Saturday and there were lots of people out trying to get in what could be the last hurrah of the fall before the weather turns. Couples walking hand in hand. Kids skateboarding. Row boats on the lake. People feeding the ducks and squirrels. Just a photographer's paradise!
For one reason or another we ate each night in an Irish Pub! The proximity to Guiness could have had something to do with that but you never know. Shepherd's Pie, lamb, pork, gravy - yum! There's so much more ethnic cuisine to try there but couldn't talk Scott into falafel or doners. He says that he's a burger and fries guy! If I lived there I would probably gain 10 pounds a day and then walk it off every night!
All in all it was a great few days and we will definately plan on going back next year! Maybe I can talk Anne into going down for Christmas... Hmmm.... Here's some few of the images I took while we were there. Enjoy!
