This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …

This group meets every other Monday at 7PM at Berkeley Espresso, for brainstorming over modeling and rendering epiphanies we all have had or will encounter with this fantastic platform (Rhinoceros 3D, Grasshopper and Flamingo nXT or other renderer).

Interested in painting or drawing portraits but too shy to ask random strangers? Tired of drawing your loved ones over and over again? This group is for you. Let's get together and take turns sitting for each other. Just to be clear this is NOT a nude figure drawing session (not that I have anything against nude figure drawing).

Unlike most meetup groups, not only will we teach you photography, we'll help you grow. We've been putting on photography events since 1999. We currently do over 150 …

I would like to create events where people get together to take portraits of each other. I came up with this idea of creating this group, because I own a Nikon DSLR and found that it is hard to take pictures of myself with this clunky camera, so instead I have lots of photos of friends but not much photos of myself. I figure there should be lots of people out there in same predicament as me. so the idea is we come with interesting and adventurous locations where we can bring our cameras and help …

A lot of startups nowadays go by a very common model: there are 2-3 co-founders, have a seed round, hire more people, make money, Series A, more people, etc... I would like to explore the topic of how a startup "alliance" can be formed in the early days, before any of the startups have even begun coding (ones that are in the ideation phase). Possibly gathering 5-20 co-founders who all join the alliance, they may have different ideas. The strategy would be they collectively decided which idea see …

What if economy was, indeed, a "Kosmic system in which each soul expresses itself via its respective persona, or circumstances, in order to allow for the greatest harmony and communion with every other soul,” as H. B. Augustine suggested? What if a commons-based economy was our collective practice of replenishing the resources needed for the well-being of ourselves and future generations?  How would we organize work, commerce, and governance differently from the currently dominant model of soci …
