Hi All,

Here's the link for more info, or to sign up: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/find/eventDetails.jsp/id/1415

And it's FREE! I hope some other Filmwasters will join us!

Hot dawg!!! This sounds fantastic...and, not for the first time, I rue the fact that I'm 3,000 miles away from the Big Apple. I would love to be there for this one; Gary's long been a hero of mine (about 11 years in fact) and I'd love to hear him lay down the law re plastic cameras.

If you're a Filmwaster or a Filmlurker (yes, I'm talking to you people at the back, hiding under the virtual tables  ;)) and you live in the NYC area I would strongly suggest you stick this in your diary and get along to B&H on Dec 13th.

Can we have a report and some photos, please?

I'll definitely post a report afterwards, but I hope a bunch of you show up because being there in person will definitely beat all!

Ooo, I wish I could be there!  I'll have to wait for the video. 

By the way, all of B&H's event space videos get posted here:

@Ann: I'm glad you're watching our videos! We don't video tape every class though (some speakers don't want to be recorded), and all the videos are edited, so you don't get to hear everything you'd get if you come to hear a talk in-person. But they're a taste of it.

I've been producing events for the B&H event space since February. About this time last year I had proposed a class I wanted to teach there (about how to sell our work at art festivals), and after I presented it, they told me that their event producer had just left and offered me the job. I'd been working as a photographer full time for almost 20 years, but the economy has gotten so scary that I thought I should grab the opportunity. Most of the classes they want in there are digital-based, but I keep trying to sneak as many film-based classes in there as I can!

Thanks! Yes, I've been working here since the beginning of the year. I'd been an independent photographer for many years. Then last year I created a workshop about selling your work at art festivals and presented it here and they liked it so much they offered me a job producing events. With the economy as scary as it's been the last several years I figured I'd be nuts not to take it. So that's what I've been doing. I keep trying to add new classes that are more about vision, as well as putting in a word for film whenever I can. And highlighting photographers who are doing great work but not getting enough attention (in my view) like Shannon Richardson. I tried getting Susan Burnstine in here but haven't been able to yet. If any of you have any ideas for workshops, please let me know.

Gary gave his talk today and it was recorded. It will be up on our YouTube channel in (probably) about 3 weeks. I'll post a link here when it goes up.

We were talking afterwards about doing a Toy Camera Photo Walk in the future. We are already planning one for World Pinhole Day in the spring.

I just got it back from Hasselblad yesterday. It needed a mainspring and new mounting ring (minor repairs), and I'm hoping to take it for a spin this weekend.

Great news. I have been contemplating getting mine CLAd soon. I've had it a few years and it seems fine, but, I'd hate it to start misfiring on an important trip - need to price that one  up!
