Joe McNally Joins the f64 Lunch Bunch

by Skip Cohen

"Group f/64 was a group founded by seven 20th-century San Francisco Bay Area photographers who shared a common photographic style characterized by sharply focused and carefully framed images..." Wikipedia

Yesterday was day five for the f64 Lunch Bunch, and once again, there was a lot of good solid content shared. Plus, questions from the attendees created more ideas and food for thought as we all work to find some acceptable level of normalcy in dealing with social distancing.

Sadly, as I've written a few times, there are still too many photographers who have taken shelter in place to mean EVERYTHING. It's intended to help you protect yourself, your family and slow down the spread of the virus, NOT apply to every aspect of your business. You can maintain social distancing in cyberspace and still keep in touch with your clients and the needs of your community.   ​
 
Joe McNally joined us yesterday for day 5 of the Lunch Bunch. The YouTube video is below. He shared a lot of great insight into the impact the pandemic has had on our lives and thoughts on taking advantage of the downtime. 

There was a lot of additional content shared at yesterday's "lunch." Rather than just giving you the links, I decided to give you a screenshot of where the link is taking you. Each banner below is a live link, making it even easier for you to get to each resource. Just click any banner to visit the website we were sharing.

When I first shared this idea with some great friends and artists I respect and admire, I had no idea how much content we'd immediately start to gather and share.

While not everyone was always available for each "lunch," without them, this would have just been an idea that never saw the light of day. A BIG thanks to Steve, Don, Larry, Chamira, and Scott, who contributed to each event, even when they might not have been there that day.

​Another thanks to Scott Kelby, Jen Rozenbaum, Anne Geddes, and Joe McNally for your support to an industry we all love dearly.
