Here are my #NotesFromTheField on this lens. (more…)

Out of all the photographers I have followed, Jay Maisel has been one of the most influential. His work spans decades and at Photo Plus Expot this year, a 60-year retrospective of his work will be on display. At a few points during the confrence you will fine me there. The Jay Maisel 60-Year Retrospective will run October 20-22, 2016 during the PhotoPlus Expo at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center (3 B Hall, Booth 1101)
