May 07, 2013 Long Beach: Work in Progress – Photo Recap
Our friend and photographer Ben Clark has been sending us previews of images that he and his team shot at the Long Beach: Work in Progress conference and they are sweet. I love how they show that the event was an actual gathering of people–and not just a collision of ideas.
And while I’ve been blabbing about the speakers and panelists–who were brilliant–the audience was just as important. The photos in this post feature them in a big way.
The day wasn’t intended to summarize obscure facts, show off our smart friends, or glorify the subject matter (the unappreciated culture and massive upside of Long Beach). It was intended to inspire and meant to be taken to the streets. How can individuals, artists, small businesspeople, and city folks nurture and share the subcultures for everyone’s benefit?
Each of the contributors whom I’ve talked to since the event has been really amped and inspired by what he or she heard and took part in, and I think that all of the attendees feel the same way. So while the conference has ended, the ripples will continue to be felt in Imprint’s home town and beyond.
On behalf of the crew and contributors (below), thanks again to everyone who took time to attend the conference and/or has followed and shared these blogs. Look for shareable videos to come…
