Thanksgiving Day Parade Meetup

A location has been found for the Thanksgiving Day Parade! We will be meeting up on the south side of 59th Street close to 7th ave. Here is a picture of the building we will be in front of:

and here is a view up the parade route from our location. I will have a helium balloon attached to me so you should be able to find me.

If you want to try taking pictures from a different angle feel free to meet up with us and say hello then move across the street or down the block to where ever you like. Can't wait to meet you all!

Assignment #1

Assignment #1:

This month’s assignment is “Thanksgiving”

Feel free to interpret this however you see it. It can be taken literally and you can take pictures of Thanksgiving or you could take pictures of things you are thankful for. You needn’t limit yourself to objects, see if you can capture feelings as well.

Once you have a picture you like size it to 800 pixels on the long side and email it to NYinFocus@gmail.com. We will post them on our Facebook page and on the blog http://nyinfocus.blogspot.com. Feel free to include a comment on your picture. If you are a professional please put your logo on your picture and send the link to your website so we can post that with your pictures.

Everyone can submit up to two (2) photos. The deadline is Monday, November 30, 2009.

Can’t wait to see all the photos!
