We are very happy to have Hugh Brownstone join us on our next Photo Chats.  You may know Hugh from his YouTube Channel, Three Blind Men, and An Elephant. I have known Hugh and his wife Claudio for years now.  We originally met while on a camera company press junket and have become close friends. 

We quickly found out what a small world it is, as we lived only a few doors down from each other when I lived in Pennsylvania. Hugh’s approach to videos on photography is different from many other YouTube creators. His passion for photography, like mine and yours, drives us on a daily basis.  

What really sets Hugh apart is his incredible voice and presentation style.  His commentary on cameras and photography is a joy to listen to and somewhat addicting.

Our upcoming Photo Chat will be different.  First, we will start at 1:30 PM instead of our normal 2 PM.  We are also going to make this a discussion presentation.  Unlike many of our presenters who share a presentation on a certain topic, Hugh and I are going to talk about a number of photographic topics with Hugh’s unique vision and opinion. All of you are invited to jump in and be part of the discussion.  This will be fun, informative, and interactive.

You must register for this Zoom meeting.  Registration info is below.

 

Discussion Topics

• The art, joy, and ethics of street photography

• The state of the camera industry

• Finding and/or honing one’s artistic voice

• The best photography is political

• The parable of the three blind men and an elephant

• The parable of the tiger and the donkey

• Plus, whatever is on your mind

Who Is Hugh Brownstone

Hugh is a Webby award-winning YouTuber; photographer; creator and head instructor of the Streets of New York street photography workshops; optioned screenwriter; documentary filmmaker.

Through his YouTube channel Hugh has had the privilege and pleasure of interviewing legendary photographers and  other luminaries in the industry including Elliott Erwitt, Joel Meyerowitz, Chuck Kennedy, Agnes Sire, Mark Lubell, and Dr. Andreas Kaufmann. 

Hugh’s photographic origin story began with his mother’s second-hand Leica (an incredible pedigree unbeknownst to either of them at the time — he was 7 or 8 years old).
