It was a great night at the SoHo Apple Store last night, with the NYC Photobloggers Exhibition. Not only did we get to see the photographs of clarsen, slower, Bluejake, Laura Holder (above), Infrangible, rion.nu, Satan's Laundromat, 990000, and lightningfield, we also got to more about their respective starts, processes, and favorite subjects - a nice sampling of different outlooks on photoblogging. Additionally, Anil spoke about Six Apart's Typepad (and demonstrated its moblog potential by creating one of the evening) and Adam and Scott explained the beauty of fotolog.net and its community building aspects. Thanks, photobloggers and friends!
Gothamist also got to meet some readers, which is always a treat (thanks, Donald, for the photo of Jen shooting Jake). We're sorry we didn't get there in time to distribute cookies in an orderly fashion. We'll bake some for the next Happy Hour, some time in March.

mmm...i want another cookie. damn cookies in time of hunger. thanks!
Did anyone videotape the presentation? I would love to see it.
Just to clarify, I'm going all Sean Penn on the flash-monkey Jake there, not on the demure and lovely Jen. Slower.net does not condone violence against Gothamist. But the paparazzi - look out.
Thanks to you both, Jen and Jake, for setting up and publicizing a fun (and I hope interesting) event.
Great job to all the photobloggers and Jake and Jen for putting together an informative and inspiring evening. All the work was top notch and showed a lot of dedication and creativity by the photographers. I'm sure the reason the Apple store seemed unusually warm was all the energy radiating from all the talent collected on the second floor. Keep up the great work everyone!
Super event last night. I am inspired. I am a shy freak for not meeting some folks afterwards.
Jake, while your cat is adorable, you've got some great work which you barely mentioned. I think that your love of Thomson goes beyond the normal cat/owner-parent relationship. I am asking you as a friend to seek help. ; )
what a great event! thanks for setting it all up. i think you should take that show on the road.
thx, Jake, for setting up such a great community evening! and thx to Jen for phenom promotion. yikes, the place seemed packed!
Thanks to Jake and Rion for getting this ball rolling and to Jen for cranking the hype machine. Despite the flop-sweat and cotton mouth I had a great time. Looking forward to the next one. There will be a next one, right?
yea fun!
Good work, everyone. My friends and I really enjoyed it.
that was fun. thanks to all y'all. i need a haircut.
Wait...is that a ring on Jen?!?! I thought she was single?! I knew it was too good to be true! Drats...foiled again!!
My favorite moment: the cute, young, curly-haired Apple Store staff at the top of the stairs, communicates in wordless, universal gestures to her unseen comrade at the base of the stairs, three things:

[eh, so-so]
thanks for coming, everyone- it was a great time. we're going to do something like this again pretty soon- and also do an event about regular blogging, so stay tuned. there are some rumors about a video floating around, so if i get a copy, i'll let you all know.
tpn: jen is as yet, unengaged.
What a fun event. Thank you so much for all of it. (I had a blast!)
that *was* fun. thanks to everyone for coming. I need a haircut too.
I saw the event on the APPLE's site for the Photoblog event, I thought to check it out since it is photo related & computers. I am a professional photograher and I was so very excited to see so many of you are into creative shooting and blogging it. Everyone's photos were fantastic! and I especially liked those who steps out of the boundary and tried some other sorts of geekie photo techniques; such as long exposure, etc. I just wanted to leave a note and say "Thank you" all for showing, sharing and of course, keep effen shooting!! -- Oh, and don't leave the tripod at all! : )
Regards,
Tracy.
