zaza at b&h photo
Have you ever been to B&H photo superstore in Manhattan? Yesterday, I tried several macro lenses for my camera. I sooooo wanna macro. I’m putting it out to the universe and perhaps…just maybe…it’ll happen? It was so much fun shooting those little Zaza candies that B&H is famous for!
Anyway, I was really at B&H to attend an afternoon free event on “The Photographer as a Storyteller – From Street Photography to Documentary” with guest speaker Natin Dvir. He was amazing! So if you ever get a chance to see any of his work…well it’s well worth your time. He’s Israeli and I could listen to him talk photography ALL DAY LONG.
Also…if you happen to be in the B&H area and need to pick up some food quick, boy do I have the place for you. The real deal. The home of handmade mozzarella. Sergimmo Salumeria located at 456 9th Ave. OMG…the IL VIP panini with fig spread? To die for…
To top off the evening? Attending a movie from the 20th New York African Film Festival at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Titled Jeans & Marto…about a young Ethiopian who escaped his arranged marriage to fulfill his dream of becoming an educated man at the same time struggling to balance his tribe’s customs with his pursuit of knowledge. The young man, Roba Bulga, attended and held a Q&A at the end of the movie. He was amazing! (Can you imagine his reaction to being in New York City??)
So two amazing performances in one afternoon. Gotta love NYC!
Wow, you just make my head spin! you NYC gal!
I can just see you getting into macro photography. Robin, and B&H would be the place to go. I get almost everything I need from there (online). I can just imagine what their in-real-life store must look like. But I did NOT know they were famous for those little Zaza candies.
Anyway, if anyone will ever find what NYC has to offer, it will be YOU. I love all the tidbits you share from there!
It must be great to be back in NYC. It must be great to have a shop like B&H, I a lens-filter from them. Great picture, love the DOV-smiley… 🙂
Apart from anything else, that film ‘Jeans & Marto’ sounds right up my street. I’m a big fan of world cinema. Such a great way to travel from the comfort of your armchair
Can’t wait to come back to New York. Not in the nearest future-sigh! Beautiful picture by the way.
