A First Street Slide Night
Out in the back lane of a small Sydney Pub, The Clare Hotel, around 30-40 street photographers gathered to share and discuss some recent photographs they had made. It was a gathering of different groups of street photographers from Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, the SMH photo department, and the Mobile Photography group, all coming together for the sake of Street Photography.
The organisers Nick Moir and Oliver Lang
The event was organised by Nick Moir and Oliver Lang, who are both active Sydney Photographers. Nick works for Fairfax Media, is a member of Oculi, and specialises in photographing Weather. Oliver is a member of the Mobile Photography group, and you can find him on the Sydney streets most afternoons (if the light is good) with an iPhone in hand and a Think Tank bag slung over a shoulder with an X-Pro-1 hidden inside.
The only rule for the night was that you could only show photographs taken in the week prior to the event. This way, everyone could show their recent work, and you were limited to three images.
It was a great night and one that will be repeated. If you are interested and don’t want to miss out, be sure to follow @nampix and @oggise on either Instagram or Twitter.
