NYC Photowalk July 31st

I’m here in the big city, baby! There is something about this place that just makes me restless… it’s like that living pulse that seems to throb through the streets just gets inside of you and doesn’t stop. I love it!

So, while I’m not sleeping much and sucking up everything I can, I figured I couldn’t let my visit go by without a photowalk, and some of my local (super awesome) friends agreed. I know this is last minute notice, but sometimes that’s just how it goes. So grab your cameras/phones and join me along with Titus Winters, Alan Shapiro, & Vivienne Gucwa as we enjoy one another’s company while doing what we love and do best.

We’ll meet at the High Line entrance on 16th at 5:15 and start walking at about 5:30. Rain gear optional. RSVP on the Google+ Event Post Here: http://goo.gl/BEWRj

See you all there!

Attending Blissdom ’12? Join Me For a Photowalk on Thursday!

I’m so excited to be flying to Nashville, TN next week. I’ve been lucky to be involved with Bissdom since the beginning, when it was a tiny, one room event. Every year it has grown and become even more brilliant. I cherish the time I will have to spend with friends who I don’t get to see for the entire rest of the year! I look forward to the fun, love-filled, happy community environment that awaits.

But this year I’m even more excited because I’ll be doing something I love to do in association with the conference – hosting a Photowalk! I know that many of you love to take photos as much as I do, and doing that together is just the best kind of hangout time that photographers can plan. There is endless beauty inside of the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, and we’ll be walking through it under the biodome and among lush plants getting some amazing shots along the way. Let’s photograph an indoor waterfall together, what do you say?

All levels are welcome – bring your camera in phone, point and shoot, DSLR – whatever you have!

Please RSVP: http://plancast.com/p/9w85

Have questions? I’m happy to answer them!
