Our New Email Address

Sierra Photo NYC wants to ensure that we receive your emails. You may have noticed that we’ve been asking you to send replies to our emails to sierraphotonycinfo@gmail.com. This is because email apps like Gmail and Yahoo have developed complicated procedures to authenticate their free accounts. These unfortunately make it difficult to get your communications and respond to your questions or issues. We now have a mailbox associated with our website.

The new email address is info@sierraphotonyc.com as of May 15, 2024. We will be transitioning to this new email address as of May when we will send Mailchimp emails from that address you will be able to send replies to the same address. Please add info@sierraphotonyc.com to your contact list to ensure you continue to receive our emails. Thanks for your help and attention to this important transition.

Meeting Registration

Advanced registration via the Eventbrite platform is required for all meetings. We also use Eventbrite to collect meeting donations and suggest a contribution of $8.00 to be charged at the time of your reservation. You will also need to create an Eventbrite account using your email address and a password you select.

We send members an email when tickets to a new meeting are available, generally a few weeks in advance. The email will include a link to the Eventbrite page where you can make your reservation and contribution.

Unless otherwise announced, all meetings, including in-person meetings, are broadcast via Zoom. On the meeting date, Eventbrite sends two emails to ticketholders: one is sent two hours prior and the other as the meeting starts. The emails direct you to a link to access the meeting. Make sure you have signed in to your Eventbrite account first (give yourself some time for this). Meetings start at 6:30 pm, and the presenter begins at 7:00 pm. If you are attending in person, you may purchase a ticket on Eventbrite and present your confirmation email when you arrive.

We encourage you to follow the Sierra Photo NYC page on Eventbrite to be notified automatically about future meetings.

Attending the Meeting in Person?

Note that May and June 2024 meetings are Zoom only. Our meeting place is the Soho Photo Gallery, located at 15 White Street in Manhattan. There are stairs up to the main door, so unfortunately the venue is not accessible for some individuals. Via subway, take the 1 train to Franklin Street/West Broadway, the A/C/E train to Canal Street/6th Avenue or the N/Q/ R/W to Canal Street/Broadway. View street map on the last page of this newsletter.
