- TAOP NYC x Cameras and Coffee @ ICP, Discussion-Street Photography & Photo ShootInternational Center of Photography Museum, New York, NY
Hello Fellow NYC TAOP Members
Let's get together at the International Center of Photography on Saturday, December 14th at 11am during their Cameras and Coffee series. During this event we will be able to take advantage of ICP's "community meet-up for photographers, collectors, and camera enthusiasts!" The café has La Colombe coffee and pastries.
We will be discussing an article on a photographic topic that was written by our founder, Jack Wild, to introduce you to various photographic concepts that we feel will be beneficial to assist you in becoming better photographers. This session we will be discussing an article on Street Photography.
This series is held on the 2nd Saturday of each month, so if you can't make it to this event, don't worry. Also, because this isn't a large venue, we will have to limit the number of attendees to 25 MAX. ***Please remember to change your RSVP if you decide not to attend. ***
You can, however, meet us at 12pm and join us just for the photo shoot afterwards.
After Cameras and Coffee, we will be heading out for a photo shoot between 12pm - 1pm! We will meet back at the ICP cafe to grab some drinks and discuss the shoot.
This is a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow TAOP NYC members in a more conversationally conducive environment, as well as other photography enthusiasts. Also, ICP's neighborhood is great for shooting.
This event is free to attend but ICP does recommend RSVPing at this link: Cameras and Coffee: Community Meet-Up (December 2024) | International Center of Photography (icp.org). (you can copy the text into your browser).
