Well today was my day to go to Photo Expo in the Javits Center in NYC. This is their blurb to explain what it is: "PHOTOPLUS was founded in 1983, and is the largest photography and imaging event in North America. The ultimate experience for anyone with an interest in photo, video, and visual storytelling to get up-to-date with latest industry trends." I have been going to this event since 1983 and they have every imaginable piece of photo equipment - cameras, lenses, lighting, accessories, backgrounds, books and classes. One of the things that many companies do is they hire models - sometimes the more bizarre, the better. The models move around a small stage and pose for all the photographers (that would include me) who click away with their cameras. This model was amazing! In his costume, in his makeup, his energy, and in all his moves on the stage! He was absolutely first rate and the most interesting photographic subject I saw.

It sounds like you had an exciting day. It must be fun but exhausting for the model. Is this where you bought your old camera a year or two ago? 36 years is a long time attending this show.

Wow! Great colors and lighting. The show sounds amazing. No wonder you've been attending for 36 years! betsey
I bought my old 4x5 camera after a conference at RIT in Rochester. This show is more for manufactures showing their equipment, rather than selling cameras.
