Istanbul again! Great idea!
Hey Bastian - you going on the 2013 EuroMeet? There was talk of Sarajevo but I'm not sure if anything was settled on. Maybe Stuttgart after you told me it was so good for street shooting

Simon, I told you that Stuttgart is good for street shooting? I can't remember .... but maybe under the influence of many glasses of Turkish beer ...
It's nice to live in Stuttgart and the area around and there are some interesting sights and a lot of industry BUT it's not so good for street photography
Istanbul was a much better choice and I still find Sarajevo very interesting ...

Hi guys, Having been to Sarajevo, it's an exceptionally interesting city, still one that has to be approached with caution and (why not) photographic sensitivity as it carries deep scars. Discrete photography is possible but my guess is it will be a bit iffy if you move en masse. It's certainlky not going to be the free for all affair it was in Istanbul or London. (Then again which other place in Europe is?) It's a small, beautiful, profoundly wounded place and that presents certain limitations. Not saying that we should or shouldn't, just some thoughts.
On another note, I'm going to be in London between 24-29/1, if someone fancies a visit to Somerset House for the exhibition of colour photography and a beer (even if just warm ale) I plan to go there on Saturday 26/1, so lemme know.

i'll be in istanbul at our usual euromeet time, so it's quite likely that i won't be able to travel much. anyway, i would be interested in athens and sarajevo, and i can recommend tbilisi / georgia, even though my guess is that most of these places get less interesting the more people you are with.

I think we need a Euromeet 2013 thread already, otherwise these ideas and nuggets of information will be lost. Of course, we could jump in and start one but it seems traditional that Kully starts the ball rolling?

Well, that's the thing, innit? You get 20 blokes with the same beige billingham bag (and I 've got two of those
) photographing something , the scene gets pulverized into smithereens. Let's just say we meet to see old friends, for the camaraderie, the food, the drink and photograph in a sort of by the way manner. It could be anywhere. Then at the end of the evening we'll all hold hands and tell tall tales. Or sing photography's hymn.Tbilisi sounds promising. And I wouldn't mind going to Istanbul again. Certainly Sarajevo too (with the caveats I talked about earlier). Athens is a bit iffy, lots of anger and defensiveness in the streets. Plus I have to give a conference paper in May/June and I'll be snowed under work to be a host. With this in mind getting wasted for a weekend in some other city is really preferable in my case.
EDIT: All said, I think Sarajevo is the interesting option.
