While the beauty of the internet and email allows us to have friends all over the country and to be in touch almost instantly at any given moment and the blogs and websites allow us to all know of each others work and ideas, maybe I'm old school or a complainer but sometimes I miss looking someone in the eye when I have a conversation with them. Thanks to the New York Photo Festival these past couple of days it has been good times drinking beers, politicing, laughing, sharing stories and meeting new and old friends alike: Amy E., Amy S., Christian, Shane, Joerg, Cara, Grant, Amani, Meagan, Harlan, Darius, Rian, Fil, Andrew, Christina, Ofer, Michael, Jessica, Josh. And just remember folks it doesn't require a Photo Fest for all of us to get together....
