Photomeetup 2011 – the aftermath
I was supposed to do a blog post about the photomeetup, the day after, but after a freak accident with my neck, I spend most of the day in the emergency room, and since then, I've been drugged up with pain killers.
As those of you, who participated, Photomeetup 2011 was a huge success. Once again, Michael Bang managed to gather several hundred photgraphers, models and makeup artists for this fantastic and free event. Michael Bang himself did a mini workshop, and I did the same.
To those of you who joined in, here's the unedited picture of Kiki
And here's what it looks like after a quick edit
Just kidding
Here's what I ended up with - a bit cropped, and cloned out the speed lights.
I decided to crop closer, since the background ended up being a bit too empty, and we ended up too far away from our subject.
How photography connects us
I'm quite the fan of fstoppers.com and often, they post very interesting stuff.
This time, David Griffin talks about some of the most important photographies down in the name of National Geographic.
It is a "TED TALK", and to those of you who do not know TED TALK - I'll promise you, it's worth the look. A TED TALK takes as close to 15 minutes as it gets, and is usually people who have something interesting to say.
Photomeetup Copenhagen 2011
Last year, Michael Bang managed go gather more than 250 photographers, models and makeup artists with his inspiring initiative, Photomeetup Copenhagen.
This year, more than 600 has pushed that little "attend" button, and although facebook events have a tendency to promise more than what is realistic concerning attendees, I have a strong feeling that we will have a load of photo enthusiasts on this years Meetup.
Michael Bang has sported a website for this years event, where more information can be seen.
I'll be there as well doing a small on-location workshop in my kind of photography (feel free to come and say Hi).
Let's see if We'll be able to something equally as freaky this year

Bemoit P impresses
What I assume to be a french photographer, Benoit P, has proven to have one of the more interesting galleries to dive into.
I found him on deviantart.com some time ago, but it was only recently I decided to check out more of his work - I'm glad I did.
He has a unique way of capturing people in his centered portraits of various people who he seem to meet on the streets or on his travels. 
But not only does he do this in a very unqiue way - he also create some fantastic moody sceneries from lowlit outdoor places with people oddly interacting with the surroundings.

That being said, go visit him at once, and do yourself a favour and gaze on the photos more than a few seconds.
