One of the biggest events in the photography trade in the USA, is taking place this week, Oct 22-24, in Manhattan – the Photoplus Expo. But then, I am sure every photographer local to New York already knows about this. No big revelation there.
But the ‘big thing‘ for me is that I will be doing a short presentation at the Unique Photo booth, each day, Thu – Sat. The topic will be a variation of the talk I gave at Unique Photo earlier in September - Just Give Me The F-stop. I will also be selling copies of my book on flash photography techniques.
Thu (Oct 22) .. 11am – 12 noon
Fri (Oct 23) .. 11am – 12 noon
Sat (Oct 24) .. 12 noon – 1pm
Come stop by, hang out, and say hello!

Will definitely be there Neil! Can’t wait to reinforce what I learned in your last NJ Workshop.

Neil, this is a fantastic and lucky coincedence. I have been reading your site for the last year and love it. I have posted some comments a few of which you have been kind enough to respond to. The last one I posted was to add my voice to the request that you do a workshop up here in Toronto. As it turns out I am flying to New York for a weekend getaway this weekend with my wife and some friends so I will definitely be tryin to sneak away for a couple of hours and listen to your talk. Could you post some more details, ie. location of the Expo, Cost, etc….

I’ll be there Neil, possibly tomorrow, but more likely Saturday. Perhaps I’ll pick up a book too :)

Neil, I want to personally thank you for spending time with me, and sharing your wealth of experience in photography at the Photoplus Expo, today. I been following your website, Planetneil.com for the last five months and my photography, as well as, my lighting has improved. I am reading your book, and I am looking forward to attending your workshop in 2010.

Neil:
I was delighted to bump into your “lecture” at PhotoPlus NYC. My dad and I just sat down at the Unique stand (needed a rest) and didn’t know what was in store and know who the guy at the front (about to talk to us) was. Your badge read “Scott” and didn’t give many clues!
When you introduced yourself I quickly made the connections as I have browsed your website and found your flash tutorials informative and enlightening (excuse the pun) over the past months.
I was very pleased to have bought your book and have just finished reading it all the way through. I have invested $3 in black foam to make a snoot and am already applying the processes and concepts you taught.
In other words (apart from getting my Canon camera’s sensor cleaned), you were (for me) the highlight of the show.
Thanks again
