Scenes from Levi's Photo Workshop

After my first full day at PDN's Photoplus Expo (which I wrote about here)
I visited the newly-opened community photo and studio workshop by Levi's.  Specifics on the workshop is here.
Nobody else described it better than Mr. OneLight himself  when he visited.  

"That place is photo sex" - Zack Arias' tweet on Oct 24th.  

Yes, ZA, the experience was orgasmic.

So what about this experience?  The most awesomest thing about the workshop is

that the use of almost the entire facility is for free.  That's right, F-R-E-E!  From vintage camera

rental to the use of a professional-grade studio station (a 7ft Profoto Octabank - whaaat?!?!), 

several iMac workstations, and large printing facility (you can print as big as a 40x60 poster 

according to one staff member), the use of it all is open to the photography public for free. 
How cool is that?

As for me, I geeked out that evening with a medium format Hasselblad 553 camera (I'll blog those

images when I process the film).  Others that evening made use of the studio station since 

Mark Wallace was on hand to give a lecture and provide help.  To make use of the studio at other

times, you have to reserve two hour time slots in advance.  For others that evening, it was just a night

of chilling out and hanging with other photographers of like minds.  I highly recommend any

photographer to visit and make use of Levi's Photo Workshop as it will only be open until
December 18th.   Kudos to Levi's and the amazing staff!
