Next week in New York, Photoville opens for its seventh year under the Brooklyn Bridge, and we're pleased to once again collaborate with Leica Camera on a series of photowalks led by ONA community members (and Leica photographers) Joe Greer, Pei Ketron, Mat Rick, and Tutes. We invite you to join us—photowalks are free and open to all levels of experience. We'll be unveiling some new ONA products for the first time, and a selection of Leica cameras and lenses will also be available to loan on a first-come, first-served basis; bring an SD card, a valid ID, and credit card required to participate.
