Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
I found out about Help-Portrait through an email from a friend, who learned about it through an email from another friend.
It’s a pretty fascinating project, an opportunity to help people through photography.
Help-Portrait is a movement of photographers who are using their time, equipment and expertise to give back to those who are less fortunate this holiday season
The ball’s already rolling to do one in Charleston. Are you interested in participating?
In the 10 years I’ve been in Charleston, I have never gone to the Coastal Carolina Fair.
This year I’ll be going for the first time, and meeting some fellow photographers there for some photowalking action through the fair on Hallowe’en. It’s bound to be an interesting time and I’m sure there will be lots of things to photograph.
Looking forward to having some fun out there and playing with some long exposure shots. Just need to remember to take my tripod with me.
If you’re interested in joining, meet me at the main gate (or just inside the gate) around 5PM Saturday (Hallowe’en). It’ll be fun!
By pretty much all accounts, BarcampCHS turned out to be a resounding success. From some of the initial estimates, it sounds like there were between 150-200 people that showed up for the inaugural event.
Lowcountry Innovation Center turned out to be a great venue and provided an astounding amount of support to help us pull off BarcampCHS.
Some sessions were standing room only
This is what Barcamp is all about: sharing knowledge with others
Barcampers assemble! After lunch, we shoo-ed everybody outside for a group photo. It was not unlike herding cats.
My Barcamp day ended with all things bacon, put on by Ted from Ted’s Butcherblock.
Thanks to everybody for showing up at BarcampCHS, the sponsors for making everything possible and the organizers for putting everything together. BarcampCHS would not have been the success it was without everybody that organized, sponsored and came to the event.
You can see even more photos in the BarcampCHS Flickr group. If you have some BarcampCHS photos on Flickr, share them to the group!
I haz dem. Lots of dem.
