Back from LOOKbetween and NYC brimming with new ideas and energy.  A HUGE thanks to all the organisers and sponsors of the festival but also the photographers present. Mostly “emergent” it was so, so refreshing to spend time with other shooters with diverse projects and infinite commitment, not a moan in site. None of us have ever experienced huge editorial assignments or creative budgets but in the new photographic economy  new ideas, approaches can make it happen.  Buckets of American hospitality, incredible slideshows, Scotch Whisky, BBQ and a swimming lake didn’t hurt either!
