With Instax cameras supplied by Fuji the party got started!

Yep, 30th Anniversary of PhotoPlus Expo took a new inclusive tact this year: No extra fee, no traveling, simple vittles but lots and lots of schmoozing. The friends you hadn’t seen, and some yo hadn’t spent enough time with, were at the large hall at the top of the Javits center

Lots of seminars, a keynote by Rick Smolan, he of the “Day in the Life of…..” series, gear to touch, finding the things you missed the first time, all ready for you on Saturday.

That’s the goods news.

A wee bit smaller this year, but the floor still seems packed. I’m shooting videos all day, and will be editing them after the show.

Need some sleep, sometime.

This is our favorite photo event of year.
PhotoPlusExpo

Gear, Seminars, Keynotes by the masters, old friends, new friends, and New York City lighting up with events all over the city, celebrating the power of the still image.

Did we mention gear? Row after row of newly announced, previous winners, show specials, unique tools and software you may only see here.

In a photo season filled with new gear, you, along with the press, will get their hands on most of it.

We love buying online, but you always should go brick and mortar for your key tools to check out the feel in the hands.

That’s where the real deal is.

We’ll be on the floor, getting coverage for you and sifting through the real deals.
From gift giving, to your brand new studio, it’ll all be there.

So stay with us this week. Lot’s going on.

And this new look? We needed a bit of a refresh as well, and we’ll give you a guided tour.
