New York Photo Festival 2011 - I

Hi Andreas, here is my first impression from the New York Photo Festival 2011. The festival is curated this year by Enrico Bossi and Elisabeth Biondi.

Matt Eich, a founding member of LUCEO, gave a great presentation of his long-term projects at St. Anns Warehouse tonight as part of the New York Photo Festival's lecture series. He is one of my favorite young and emerging* photographers, his project 'Baptist Town' is amazing, he really takes you there. Which is what documentary photography should be about.

I wonder why only roughly 50 people showed up for this one hour lecture, on a Friday night at 7pm in New York City... Matt deserved a full house.
