Photojojo’s putting on a series of events over the next couple months in NYC and SF. They’re called Photo Safaris and the idea is simple: anyone with a camera is welcome, we find a fun event, location, or organize a tour, you have fun shooting for an hour or two, then we go to a bar, show off everyone’s photos, and give away some prizes from our sponsors.
The first one is this Saturday, October 25th in DUMBO, Brooklyn. Hope you can make it.
I’ll be in NYC this weekend (August 16th through the 18th) to attend NYIGF for Photojojo. If you wanna meet up know of something great going on, let me know!
Many of you have already heard this, but I helped organize a Jelly in Manhattan on my way home from Delhi to San Francisco, and Alex Goldmark covered it for Marketplace on NPR. (This is our second time on NPR. The first was September of last year)
Here’s the audio segment:
And here’s some video they shot, featuring a whole bunch of friends and Jelly regulars!
Green Desk looks like an amazing new shared office/coworking space in Brooklyn. (DUMBO)
In addition to being carbon-neutral (solar panels, carbon credits, renewable energy), they’ve got some really unique features: fitness center with shower, shared bicycles, rooftop access and views of Manhattan, shared MP3 archive, etc.
Best of all, it’s an awesome location (just one stop into Brooklyn on the A/C and F) and prices start at only $300/month!
Thanks for the support and the blog post. We’re actually opening our first floor in the building on June 1 and we’re getting close to being sold out pre-opening. The response has been really amazing.
Just a quick note: I’m back from India and I’ll be at Jelly tomorrow in midtown Manhattan. I hope to see many of my NYC friends there as well as some new faces.
Susan put this together to go with Photojojo’s Time-Lapse Photography Guide from 30GB worth of images I’d been saving from the Bryant Park webcam every 10 minutes for the past year and a half.
You can see the park go from ice skating rink, to outdoor movie theater, to fashion show, to outdoor broadway theater. It’s quite beautiful.
A new project I’ve been working on with Darrell Silver, Erin Sparling, and Lee Semel launches today: CommandShift3.
It’s like Hot or Not, but for websites.
Started on a lark during a NYC Jelly session with Adam Varga, Darrell Silver, Dan Lurie, Erin Sparling, and Lee Semel, we’re really proud to open it up to the world today.
I’m in New York a few days this week to meet with publishers about a Photojojo book proposal we’re shopping, and to work with the CS3 team prior to our launch(!)
If you’re around and want to meet up or say hi, let me know! Here’s my schedule:
Daytime: Working on CS3, especially promotion. Not sure where… Erin’s? (Anyone got some desks for me, Erin, and Lee to camp out on for the day? Or want to come say hi? All set.)
7:30pm: Dinner and strategy with Jim Levine, our book agent
10am-5:30pm: Meetings at Simon & Schuster, Workman Publishing, Harry N. Abrams (Stewart, Tabori & Chang), St. Martin’s Press, Random House (Clarkson Potter)
6pm: Meet with Nick Gray (Updated)
7:30pm: Dinner at the Whisk & Ladle — Mark Low, Jackie Tran, and hopefully Christine Huang, Jinal Shah, and others (you should come!)
Some more national coverage for our twice-monthly work-together coming up! A camera crew came to Jelly to take shots for a segment airing on November 4th.
Finally, Jelly in Atlanta had its first event last week, and in the past few weeks there’s been interest from people in Denver, Chicago, Singapore, Sydney, Portsmouth, Portland, Hawaii, Hartford, Tel Aviv, Tampa Bay, LA, and San Francisco! (See wiki.workatjelly.com for more)
Help spread the word to your friends in these cities!
