This just in. Attention New York City. Dan Milnor will be walking and talking later this month during a photo walk and meetup deep in the bowels of Manhattan. I will also have a colleague in tow, someone who has NOT done one of these events before, so come out and give her a hand. Yes, I will be wearing my orange hat. In fact, I might wear the exact same outfit I did last time, just to make people think I live in my car. (I often do and routinely wear the same clothes on a day-to-day basis.)
Getting out and making random work is always an entertaining endeavor. This is different from how I normally work, so I don’t really care where I go or what I see. Plus, I’m a journal-keeper, so observations are as important as photographs. I will walk and look, but I will also walk and listen. And then I will attempt to compile my efforts into something tangible. As always. See you there. Any questions, let me know.

I so wish I could be there – the true value of spending time with Dan on a photo walk is not watching the “master” at work but instead to have access to the man in his natural environment. These conversations could happen in a classroom but in the field is where they will resonate. Maybe a picture of importance will be made but the journey is much bigger than that. Have a great time.

Ha, thanks Richard. I agree, most of the time, the walks about the talk more than the shooting, which is good by me. Same for the meetup. Often feels more important than the walk.
Wife and I will be there. And… this time she’s got a camera!
