PhotoPlus Expo in October

[dvincent]

Anyone going to this? My friend Tony and I are going to be paying a visit on Saturday the 30th of October (and probably spend the 31st at JFK/LGA). If anyone else is going, maybe we could plan a meetup after checking out all the gear.

I've already registered, Dan. After several attempts, I finally attended last year. Would be great to get together when you are in town.

I'm hoping to make it this year. Based on the dates I should be free that weekend, if so, I'm in. Will check this thread again as we get closer.

Thanks for the info...........I'm registered and good to go. I'll be attending the Canon Expo as well in early September at Jacob Javits Center.

Hey moose,

would be really nice to meet you and anyone else from the gang. I'm not in Manhattan often so I like to make a party of it. Plus maybe I can finally nag some of those Sony reps at the show. A man can hope. :)

Well, the expo is this week. I've got my badge from the mail and I'm ready to go. Hopefully the weather this weekend will cooperate for photography!

I always go :-) so how would we spotters "run into" each other?

[gonzalu]

I am confirmed for a day off tomorrow from work and will attend PhotoPlus Expo first thing in the morning until mid-day at which time I plan to head out to JFK for some much desired spotting :-) If anyone wishes to join me and needs a ride to JFK, let me know. You're welcome to tag along with me if desired. PM me if you want to arrange for meet-up or post here if you'd like to have an impromptu spotters meet-up at Jacob Javits

;-)

i went last year but am gonna pass this time. upgraded my gear recently and plan on attending nikon school in either december or march instead.

[dvincent]

Well, I'll be there on Saturday only. We're planning on going to Les Halles afterwards for dinner.

[eric8669]

cell 646-996-1466 here... feel free to SMS or call ;-) Will do Saturday as well..

... Les Halles afterwards for dinner.

Les Halles == GREAT FOOD! ;-) been there a few times. Saturday I will only go if I somehow miss anything Thursday and Friday or if there is a critical mass of spotters for a get together. 33rd St West Side Heliport is just a few blocks away! ;-)

@cancidas. You should alsways consider visiting, even if just for the free presentations/demos by top photographers etc. Usually Adobe has TERRIFIC speakers who will talk candidly about their workflows using PSCS or Lightroom etc. And some times Nikon/Canon also get top pros to give great presentations...

thought about that but i can't afford to take time away to go there. honestly i need to relearn everything about editing as well as invest in the software but i just don't shoot enough right now to justify that expense. i caught a few of the talks by photographers nikon had with them last year and learned a lot, but until i can spend the amount of time i need to behind a camera i can't afford to not be working.

didn't get a chance to go yesterday, but I am on my way there now.

I know of two offers some of you might be interested. The MOO booth is giving away 50 free business cards to those that attend and Canvas On Demand(I think that's the company) they scan your badge and send you a coupon for a free 16x20 Canvas Print. I have two hanging on my wall from the past two years.
