PhotoPlus Expo 2011 and New York City. During the recent PhotoPlus Expo in New York I was privileged to spend three days with Jorg Muhle and Julian Buhler of Germany; and Devon Bell of California.
My publishing company, Rocky Nook of California, had a booth at the Expo and I had the privilege of being one of the hosts. The booth presented Rocky Nook's books for photographers, Seenby.com's Fine Art Photography, and c't Digital Photography magazine, which Rocky Nook is co-publishing. Here's a picture of the crew in our booth at the Expo: Since this blog is about both the PhotoPlus Expo and New York, I'd like to discuss a couple of favorite companies of mine in the early part of this blog (part 1) and later show you some pictures from two enthusiastic Nikon photographers—my wife and I—as we experience the fast times of New York with our cameras up to our eye (part 2).

Yumiko Matsui's Adorable Miniature Paper New York City (PHOTOS) Although big cities offer plenty of opportunities and perks unavailable in less populated locales, sometimes all the hustle and bustle can get a bit overwhelming.
That is why our little hearts leap for Yumiko Matsui's miniature paper cities, which turn boisterous concrete jungles into manageable playgrounds.

Entitled the Panorama of the City of New York, the model is built at a scale of 1:1200 (one inch = 100 feet) and covers 9335 square feet of exhibit space.

They used insurance and plat maps, aerial photos, as well as direct observation, to build the most accurate representation of the city possible, including all five boroughs, and the entire length and breadth of the city (aside from a corner of Far Rockaway which would not quite fit the space). At a scale of 1:1200, the Empire State Building is about 12 inches high. Hire Flair Bartenders in New York City, NY. New York Film Academy. On set with the Parlotones - A Nikon D800 product review.
