Vivienne Gucwa - Wired Magazine Party - NY Through The Lens - New York Photography Book and Photo Gallery

Four of the screens...

When I travel, I have staples that I take with me on long-haul flights and one of those staples is Wired Magazine. Always. So, when I was asked by Sony a few months back if I would want my New York photography book to be a part of a Wired Magazine pop-up store private event along with a gallery display of my photography, it was hard to contain my excitement.

In terms of things I never thought I would do six years ago when I started taking photos seriously, signing copies of my books at Wired's offices ranks up there as something I wouldn't have even believed I would be doing back then.

The Design Your World event took place at Wired's NYC pop-up store in the meatpacking district on December 16th. The event was open to private guests of Wired Magazine and each of the 250 guests received a copy of my book: NY Through The Lens. There was also a gallery sponsored by Sony featuring 10 large screens displaying my black and white photos (all of which are in the book, of course).

Despite the majority of the books having been pre-signed by me, I think I ended up personally signing around 200 books at the event itself! It was so nice to connect with so many people. Seeing their reaction to the book and to the gallery of my photography is something I will never ever forget. What a beautiful experience.

To all of the wonderful people who I spoke to, hugged, took photos with, bonded with, opined about New York city in the snow with, and whose books I personally signed on the spot - you made my year. Thank you.

Thank you to Sony and Wired for this incredible opportunity.

And most of all, thank you to absolutely everyone online and offline who has been so wildly supportive and encouraging when it comes to the book and to my photography. It's been quite a journey so far and I sincerely enjoy taking you with me every step of the way.
