LENS CAPTURE

I count myself as extremely fortunate to live so close to what could be considered the photographer's heaven on earth. I speak of B&H Photo (oh yeah, video - pro audio, computers, home entertainment, astronomy, and the list grows on). The superstore, at 34th Street and 9th Avenue in Manhattan is a retail marvel. If you get the chance, it is a must stop if you are anywhere near the City!

B&H is now hosting free workshops and special events in the Manhattan, NY superstore called "Event Space." I've already signed up for the Studio Workflow presentation by Westcott. Other offerings this month are Better Photographic Composition: Beyond the Rule of Thirds, Intro to the Digital SLR (dSLR), Toying with Plastic Cameras, and The Photo Essay: Learning to Tell a Story Through Imagery. B&H has an online reservation system and an interactive calendars of events. I would highly recommend the RSS feed so you find out about new event offerings when they're announced. The majority of the events are already booked solid this month. Check out bhphotovideo.com/eventspace. The Event Space is located on the second floor of the superstore at 420 9th Avenue New York, NY 10001. Definitely plan to spend some time afterwards browsing through the 70,000 square foot expanse of photo gear.

I"ll try and give you guys a heads-up on events of particular interest. You can't beat free!!!
