NYCFotoworks

Recently, I headed back up to New York to participate in another thrilling installment of NYCFotoworks at the Canoe Studios in Chelsea. As is usual with Fotoworks, the number of very talented photographers was as impressive as the list of reviewers. It’s safe to say that this review has an excellent reputation. Last spring, I met with one photographer who came from overseas just for Fotoworks; this time, I met with four.

With so many great photographers around, there were of course plenty are Wonderful Machiners to connect with. I had the pleasure of chatting with Jody Horton, Sara Rubinstein, and David Clifford, as well as Fotoworks veterans Robb Scharetg and Kevin Steele.

After a morning of reviews—including some really standout work from Susanna Blåvarg, who recently moved to New York from Sweden, and Marcel Molle, who came all the way from the Netherlands—I headed on to a top secret lunch meeting with Boston-based Michael Piazza. While I can’t yet divulge what when on at lunch, I can tell you that the consulting project we’re working on will knock your socks off just as hard as the pizza Michael and I enjoyed at Co.

After lunch, I headed down to the Half King Pub for a short but sweet happy hour with Kevin Steele, David Clifford, and David’s old pal from his days as a photo editor Stephen Scott Gross.

After some enjoyable conversations, and equally enjoyable beer, I had to hustle to catch my bus back to Philly. I ran so fast and so recklessly that my complimentary bottle of portfolio-reviewer-wine jostled right out of my bag and onto the unforgiving New York sidewalk within three steps of the door. It was a sad end to an otherwise great trip.

See you next time, Fotoworks!
