It’s that time of year again for the best little underground photo conference out there – GeekFest. St. Petersburg, Fla. is the place to be September 11-13. $100 is a low price to pay for inspiration and motivation and fun.

Our list of speakers is still taking shape, but it’s already pretty outstanding:

* National Geographic photo legend Sam Abell

* 2009 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Feature Photography and New York Times stud Damon Winter

* 2009 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Breaking News Photography and Miami Herald super star Patrick Farrell

* former Dallas Morning News photographer turned bad ass freelancer Allison V. Smith

* San Antonio Express-News community photojournalist turned war photographer Nicole Frugé

* photo guru Bryan Moss

* San Jose Mercury News multimedia superstar Dai Sugano

* Alexis Lambert, lawyer, specializing in media law

Other things we’re cooking up 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.
