It's not every day that I can say that I attended my own book debut party where I signed my own book and gave a presentation about my photography. In fact, even writing that out doesn't make it any less surreal. And yet that's exactly what happened last night.
I was telling someone last night that this year has been such a wild ride in terms of hitting tons of photography (and writing) career milestones that I don't think any of these sorts of events have registered yet in my own mind. If you had asked me if I would be making a post like this 5 years ago, I think I probably would have laughed heartily in disbelief since all of this would have seemed like such a dream.
The event took place at the Sony flagship store in Sony's headquarters in midtown Manhattan which was fitting since I am one of 9 Sony Artisans of Imagery worldwide. It was nice to celebrate with everyone there at the first of a few book related events.
Earlier this week, my book: NY Through The Lens: A New York Coffee Table Book hit #1 in New Releases for City Photography on Amazon which was super exciting. While it is available to ship on Amazon, it doesn't release in stores everywhere like Barnes and Noble until November 24th.
I am grateful to Sony for hosting the event last night. Highlights included cookies with my New York City photography on them (still can't get over the detail!), signing numerous copies of my book with a metallic marker, and getting to celebrate and meet with people who have been following my work.
Some of my friends also showed up. One of them even ended up winning a camera.
I walked out of the event to a foggy New York City and as I looked up at the skyscrapers which were reaching up into the fog, I smiled.
Thank you to those who came to the event. I know it was in an early time slot which made it difficult to attend for those who typically work later into the evening. It was also a cold, moody, rainy night suited for comfy lounging in bed (or in my case, running around with a camera). So, for those who were able to come out, you rock. Thank you so much!!
I will have more info about other events in New York City in the next few weeks. There are some events in the planning stages right now so stay tuned.
Most importantly, I wanted to say thank you to everyone for being so supportive. It means the world to me to know that there are people out there for whom my photography and/or writing resonates in some way. It's a beautiful feeling to know that.
