BTW the game photography workshop at Unpub by @jcw.gay was the simplest, most immediately useful workshop I have ever attended. And he barely even 'presented' in a traditional way - it was all
"hey, take some pictures"
"Now, take some pictures thinking of something."
"Try some angles"

I had like 5 minutes warning that I was going to introduce @connievdc.bsky.social but it was easy because she is a great designer, community builder, AND advice-giver. Advice 🧵:
Always Baltimore, usually March, dates for 2027 not announced yet.
