NY meet July 17th

Thought i would start a thread on this NY meet that was a nice success last month. I will be in NY on the 17th for shooting, chatting and fun. Terry is the organizer for this ( i just volunteered her) but would love to get together with all our NY and surrounding area friends for a day together.

July 17 Preliminary plan: open for discussion and changes

Morning shoot
9:00AM Meet in Central Park at the entrance to Tavern on the Green.
Lots of nice spots that are all around that area

Lunch
12:00 Meatpacking district - Pastis is one restaurant option
(there is some fun street shooting right in this area)

Afternoon Shoot
Stroll through the Village and head down towards Soho or over towards Chinatown

This type of schedule will allow people who can only do half a day either shoot in the morning and have lunch or have lunch and shoot in the afternoon or simply play for the whole day. It also gives us two meeting places that would be set.

OK, I think I can handle the pressure. Actually, from a different thread, Coney Island is a very target rich environment for shooting both day and evening. July 17th is a Thursday and it would be nice to get a sense of how many people think they may be able to attend. Let's show Guy a good time in NY!!!

At this point, July sounds like a long time from now. I missed the last meeting and really want to make this one. So count me in under the column heading of "Good Intentions".

The 17th is on my calendar. Looking forward to it.

Coney Island is indeed a target rich environment. The downside is that it is a bit more of a hassle to get to than other NYC venues (depending where you're coming from).

On the boardwalk last summer.....

Coney Island sounds good to me.
I think that it has been about 40 years since I was there last.
Cynthia sounds like she might come along as long as we stop at Nathans.
But, here is the rub, it will be the day after my left hand surgery, so I am afraid that I will need to stay home.

Helen! I was thinking of signing up for that class! :D Last summer I did the weekend night shooting class (different instructor) and it was a blast. Harvey is very good and he really knows Coney Island (did a book on it). Put this in your brain with him "shoot wide, get close" :grin:

We can do whatever the group wants on the 17th!

Ooops ...I forgot to mention
I went with something sensible from Japan
a voiglander 35mm F2.5 P II (new edition)
I read somewhere that the camera was designed specifically
with the 35 mm in mind......so that was my first LEAP into Glass
IT is soooo BEAUTIFUL the combo
I feel like I'm in a James Bond flick / sexy ,chic, fun & retro :clap:
