Photo Gathering Jan 2010

So last Saturday I went to the Mass Photo Gathering in Trafalger Sq. About 2000 photographers turned up and it was very good natured and cheerful event. It was interesting to see so many people taking photos in one area of each other. It’s funny to think about how much as a photographer myself I prefer to be behind the camera rather than in front of it, I know many other photographers like this too, but it seemed that no one minded having their photo taken here. People probably expected to have their photos taken as I’m sure is what happens when you throw 2000 photographers into a small area together raising awareness of an issue specifically for photographers.
I’m very glad I went and although I hope there won’t be a need for another event like this, I wouldn’t mind it again either.
