Just got back from a visit to "The Most Important Event in Photography: October 22-24, 2009. Located at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City the show boasts a huge expo floor, hundreds of exhibitors, thousands of new products and a conference with over 100 seminars." That's some hype! I went up with fellow photographer Mike Dill. Besides being tempted with all the photo equipment I don't have but really "need" there was a special reason to go this year. There was an exhibit of some of the photos from the do1thing project in which I participated and one of my images was on display.

Classic and Classical

Noted musical arranger/conductor Larry Baird leads the Greater Trenton Symphony Orchestra in an afternoon rehearsal for their performance with the progressive rock group Kansas that evening at Patriots Theatre at the War Memorial. Baird has done this kind of thing before with the Moody Blues, for example, and he's a veteran of over 500 shows according to the GTSO's regular conductor John Holly. I have more behind-the-scenes photographs at http://michaelmancuso.zenfolio.com/ There's a slideshow button, so sit back and relax for a minute (literally).
