If you’re looking for some photo-inspiration this fall, consider heading down to sunny Florida September 11-13 for GeekFest– the semi-annual get-together hosted in St. Pete, organized by APhotoADay’s Melissa Lyttle.

From Melissa: “Some things we’re cooking up this year include: a shuffleboard tournament, a shoot-out, a silent print auction and more… If you’ve never been to GeekFest before, it’s not your normal photo conference. It’s laid back. It’s low key. And it’s a pretty full weekend of photo goodness. We like to keep it casual and comfortable. Everyone that comes is there for inspiration, plain and simple.”

Speakers this year will include: Sam Abell, Damon Winter, Bryan Moss, Pat Farrell, Alexis Lambert, Allison V Smith, Bob Croslin, Dai Sugano, and Nicole Fruge. There aren’t many places you can hang with photographers/photo folks of that caliber all at once- registration is only $100, and there are some hotel discounts if you act quickly.
