Those are not personal weapons, they are likely Government issue and being transported without their magazines in place. Also the boots and pants visible in the picture look like uniform parts to me.

Well, I might have misinterpreted those as personal weapons because by suddenly popping up a picture of a couple of AR-15s without initially explaining why and also because we can get those as personal weapons from K-Mart, Safeway, Walmart and so on in Texas during my time. With veterans from the US Army Special Forces bringing them in for target practice at the firing range and at times sharing their weapons.
Well, can't blame me for that.
But the question remains why the picture for the semi-automatic to automatic weapons?

Why provide any semblance of context when a random picture can be posted and interpreted any which way, one or two of which may support your strawman?

That is the reason why I seldom post and share any pictures because sometimes it can get you when it's least expected because people can interpret it as any which way they like,

The one thing that Texan's lead the nation is arrogance. Your post is offensive.

Create NYC (formerly PhotoPlus) has been postponed until 2023. Their release claims “the first show needs a little extra time to produce the collective and inspiring experience imagined for this dynamic space” but I suspect they found that people weren’t signing up for the show, either because of the cost, the hard to get to location at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, or the fact that it wasn’t going to be a traditional exhibitors show.

They tried to make it geared towards young hipster creators, but maybe those people didn't care.

It was supposed to have been held September 29th -...Show more →

I think it's the general decline in photography as a whole. It's not 2005 anymore. No one's excited about the D2Xs successor or when will Nikon go "full frame". Gone are the days of seeing everyone lugging a huge DSLR with huge lens and stack of CF cards. Everyone's just glued on their cellphones scrolling videos on tiktok or IG. That's my take.

Sorry for derailing the thread. Please continue with political discussions.

Photo Plus expo in NYC still carried a pretty high interest being that it was both a learning event and an expo. it was a rare occasion that i missed it. it allowed one to interact with distributors and makers directly on both the hardware and software side. you had 3 days if you needed it. you can use all the power of the internet/virtuality you want; it doesn't hold a candle to the reality of what you see and try in the real world.

trying what emerald expo attempted recently was not in any way a good option. yes, through out the years it had its highs and lows but there was a consistency and more than a few companies got a good boost from being there.

Even though the overall photography market is a lot smaller than it once was, primarily due to the domination of smartphone photography, I disagree with you. And the reason I say that is because the last PhotoPlus NYC show, which I guess was October of 2019, was extremely well attended. In fact, it was hard to move through the show at times and it was hard to get seats at the photographer sessions.

What is true is that Nikon, IIRC, never released anything new at that particular show. Also, Sony didn't attend the last show - they held a separate event outside the show, but nearby. Leica stopped exhibiting as well. But for traditional photographers, I think they're very interested in what is coming next from each manufacturer. The threads on this site prove that.

I do think that the Create show was an attempt to address a younger generation who shoot with smartphones. Probably sounded good on paper. But it was probably too much of a change. What they probably should have done was to do the Create show within the traditional PhotoPlus show. After all, Comic-Con is still held at Javits, so I think younger people and hipsters would have shown up. Maybe Javits raised their rates so much to make up for pandemic losses that the show wasn't viable.

In any case, it will be interesting to see if the Create show stilll happens in 2023. But if they charge what they were going to charge for the 2022 show, I won't be there.

for the most part i can agree up until this point: I do think that the Create show was an attempt to address a younger generation who shoot with smartphones..
trying to bring in a younger generation, yes. the smartphone is here to stay but it isn't/wasn't the focal point of this attempted event. it was a simple failed experiment in that just couldn't run on what was attempted to be offered. without the hardware like even basics like tripod, accessories and alternate means of shooting it was less structured. it failed to feed both sides of the equation.

If that's the case then that's good news and I'm genuinely happy for the photography industry as a whole. I guess a lot of it is due to the pandemic and most people are just reluctant to get into packed venues.

lets say on the second statement the learning curve is still a bit steep

but then that seems to be in a whole lot of places too because of the social animals that we are.
