I’ve been a Meetup member for a long time but I have never been to any of the events until today. I recently joined the south bay photography meetup group and it is actually a very active group. They have at least one event per week. I went to this thing called PhotoSlam 2006, it was a pretty casual knowledge-sharing type event. There were members from the Foothill college photography club, a RangeFinder online message forum, and meetup members. People brought some cool toys, their portfolios, I displayed my portfolio on a projector (the color on the projector was actually calibrated quite well!), and pretty much just socialized and chatted about photography. I was in a hurry and accidentally brought my camera with the macro lens instead of my 24-70/2.8L, so only got some shots of the toys, here are the images:
