wilfredo Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted November 24, 2014 Thank you all. We had a great time catching up over lunch. This was shot with my MM. I sold my M8 in order to use the funds towards the MM. I've been shooting with the MM for over a year now and love the DNG's I get from it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguewave Posted November 25, 2014 Share #8 Posted November 25, 2014 Wilfredo, it was a genuine pleasure to spend time with you. I look forward to many more such enjoyable meetings. I also want to publicly mention the launch of The Harlem Camera Club! My wife & I have been working hard to birth this new endeavor. Hopefully, we can get as many of the LUF members and others interested in image making to join us both in NYC and other venues! Wilfredo, thanks for the portrait! It looks just like me. For anyone that wants to learn more about the Harlem Camera Club, here's my email address: ben@nysity.com More to come! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_parker Posted November 28, 2014 Share #14 Posted November 28, 2014 Really nice portrait Wilfredo - only thing is, you should have shot it with an 80mm so that only 2mm of the end of Ben's nose was in focus.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

snooper Posted November 29, 2014 Share #16 Posted November 29, 2014 Do you guys accept intruders from abroad in your Harlem lunch ? As I really enjoy seeing the pictures that both of you are posting here, it will be my treat ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, you gave me a good laugh. It took a few shots to get this one. I wasn't happy with the first shots, when I finally saw the shot I wanted I asked Ben not to move. I think in part it was due to good conversation about lenses, psychology, and Buddhism. I hope the Harlem Camera Club gets off the ground. I trust it will!

wilfredo Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share #18 Posted November 29, 2014 Do you guys accept intruders from abroad in your Harlem lunch ? As I really enjoy seeing the pictures that both of you are posting here, it will be my treat ! Intruders welcome! Let's do it! Europeans have a fascination with Harlem. There are a few restaurant establishments here with French names I have yet to try out. BTW, I often see small groups of private tours on my block being lead in different languages. The face of Harlem is changing with gentrification but it still maintains its character. I enjoy the mix of people here, but it does raise the anxiety levels of lower income people who are gradually being pushed out. By the same token, there is a healthy Black middle class presence here of people who live in beautiful Brownstones, and are holding on to them. I wish I could afford one!

snooper Posted November 29, 2014 Share #20 Posted November 29, 2014 Back in the days we used to consider that (lower) Harlem was beginning at the 'Smoke' Jazz Club (on Broadway) where the superb ambiance was really something special. Done, see you soon in Harlem ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
