On September 13 th , I attended my first MDStreetMeet Event, which was held at Glen Echo Park. This was a low-light event focused on low-light photography and capturing the neon signs at Glen Echo. Street Meet is all about street photography with a few models thrown into the mix and is supposed to be about collaboration and meeting other fellow photographers. It really wasn’t my thing, as I’m introverted and have a hard time integrating myself into groups, especially groups that already seem to have their own internal clicks. I’m also not a street photographer; I lean more towards portrait and studio photography. I did take a few images but not enough to say it was worth my time. You can see a few of those below. My other observation was some people brought a lot of gear for something that is supposed to be geared towards street photography. My thought of street photography is simple setups; maybe a single light stand at most, not carts full of lights...
