This weekend, in addition to the Halloween festivities, I had the pleasure of attending the 2012 International Photoplus Conference and Expo at the Jacob Javits Convention center (October 24-27, 2012). As a relative neophyte to the world of photography, this was a rather daunting feat for me. However, I can safely say that in addition to the overwhelming and mind-blowing exposure to all things photography-related, it was also just straight-up good fun to be part of the convention!
There is something for everyone here. You can get hands-on equipment knowledge and demonstrations. Plus, there was live entertainment and fantastic avant-garde photography on exhibit, how could you go wrong with that?
Plus, if you’re a geek like me, you also have the option to attend the multiple all-day seminars they have available! Some of the ones I attended include: (1) Retouching Power with Photoshop (a fashionista must-have!); (2) 12 Steps to Improve Your Digital Photography; and (3) Secrets of Great Portrait Lighting.
Of course, much of the knowledge conveyed was way too technical for my level – though I am hoping that some of the info will sink in via osmosis!
