The age-old question:  Should you shoot RAW or should you shoot JPG?  Well, first we gotta define what a RAW file is, and what a JPG is.  There are advantages for both.  What are they?  When would you choose one of the other?  What about all those different funky shapes and icons in my camera's JPG menu options?  How do I deal with RAW files and get the most out of them? Let's do a dive into some basic file mechanics and hopefully demystify this situation once and for all.

Washington Square Park is a New York staple, over the years home to many counterculture movements, outsiders, youth and artists.  From Civil War-era riots, to the Beats and the Punks, Washington Square has symbolized uprising and collective action.  Nowadays things have changed as new forces shape the area, and so as photographers it falls upon us to document the evolution of an iconic place.  Perhaps in the process we can find clues to what will be coming next.

It was called The World's Playground and was for many years the most popular and sought after attraction in the world.  Tremendous theme parks with bright lights that lit up the night sky, one-of-a-kind experiences, mobs of excitement-seekers plus a beach made Coney a formidable force for fun.  Now Coney Island is experiencing another evolution, and whether or not you're a fan of the new look, it's absolutely still one of the most interesting New York spots to shoot.  Come join us to explore a neighborhood with one foot in the past, and the other in some nebulous future.
