Converge are doing great justice to the DSLR community, they *get* it. Their last festival was a massive success and their next one begins on the 1st March at a very plush home, the British Film Institute on London’s South Bank.
Speakers include Philip Bloom, Kevin Shahinian, Richard Jobson, Robin Schmidt and Danfung Dennis – all on the one day, beginning at 9am. Check the schedule here for more info.
I’m currently contributing to the Converge blog which is a great read, full of the sharpest views from around the DSLR community – they have chosen very wisely, as you can see!! I hope to make it for the 1st March from my new home in Berlin schedule permitting so it will be great to see you there. I will be recognisable from having Jim Jannard’s boot print etched prominently across my forehead.
May the revolution (of sorts) continue!
Day 2 is a DSLR workshop day, a bargain for ÂŁ55 – so my advice, is take the 2 days for ÂŁ100 and it will be an experience you can take home with you as well as enjoy on the day.
