B&H Photo is hosting a new, free photo expo at the Javits Center in NYC this September 6-7th.

This is huge and I'm so excited. During Covid, Photo Expo shut down, permanently. That was the largest photo expo in the US.

It looks like B&H is now creating their own expo!

They have a ton of famous photographers teaching as well.
They do need you to register for the event, even though it's free, so if you plan on going, make sure to register here:

B&H will be celebrating its 50th anniversary, September 6-7, at the Bild Expo in the Javits Center. Learn more about the festivities here!

Such a great question - WHO owns the copyright of work created with Photoshop when using the new tool to generate an AI background or to extend the frame of your image?

Who owns it, and is any work protected?

PSA - there's a new scam running on Amazon. There's always been a lot of counterfeit gear on Amazon but this one is a new problem.
Cameras and lenses bought on Amazon are actually replaced with sand or other heavy objects about the same weight in the boxes. So when you receive it, you don't know this until you open the box.
Several folks are fighting with Amazon because it's hard to prove that you didn't get the camera and/or lens.
