Tonight and tomorrow, A Photo A Day‘s Geekfest comes to the University of Oregon. Tonight will feature portfolio reviews, a print exchange and free food, and tomorrow commercial photographer Sol Neelman, photo editor and marketing consultant Jasmine DeFoore and fine art photographer Holly Andres will speak before a group shootout, edit and slideshow.
Over the past decade, Geekfest has grown to be a large annual celebration of inspired and inspiring photographers building community together, and now college Geekfests are springing up around the nation. Neelman, a former Oregonian and News-Register photographer now based in Brooklyn, NY, spoke with me about what to expect.
“We are trying to bring the GeekFest experience to college students that may not have heard of it, let alone attended one,” Neelman said.
The event will take place on the UO campus, though it’s free and open to everyone.
“It’s also meant for anyone that needs/wants a kick in the butt, regardless of experience level.”
As a longtime Geekfest veteran, I can attest that fun will be had! The schedule is below.
