Jay Maisel and his trusty studio managers/producers John and Jamie asked me to come up to New York to present my aerial work to his workshops students. I was honored. Jay was a huge influence on me as a young photographer and I respect him a great deal.
The workshop was filled with an interesting mixture of photographers. Three from Canada, one from Singapore and the remainder from the states. Three of the attendees were sporting Leica M9s and one is a well-known television actor who is a pretty nice guy who I found out knows a friend of mine.
Going to Jay’s former bank building in the Bowrey is always a joy. It is an incredible building full of his work and found objects.
Jay took us all out to an amazing meal in Chinatown with way too much food.
Cameron – It was terrific meeting you at the Maisel workshop. The workshop was definitely enriching and rewarding. Your presentation was terrific and your aerial photography stunning!

Cameron,
I enjoyed very much meeting you, seeing your work and exchanging experiences on aerial photography. The entire week with Jay and the other workshop attendees was excellent.
Our Singaporean friend ended taking two flights over Manhattan that Saturday with great results. I’ll be doing the same in the next few weeks while in the NYC area for other reasons.
Thanks again,
Paul Murray
