A few times every year I get the chance to work in my previous field of photojournalism, covering news and conventions.  I just returned from a trip to Portland where I photographed the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) annual convention.  I have had the pleasure of photographing this event every year since 2003 (only missing 2007).  This year was just as rewarding as the others.  Working with the association staff of AALL is always great.

Once the show is done many of my pictures are printed in the award winning AALL Spectrum monthly magazine, beautifully put together by Director of Publications, Julia O’Donnell.  While there I also work for a publication called Custom News. We put together a daily show newspaper for the convention attendees covering the happenings of the show.  I started photographing conventions for Custom News in 2000 and really enjoy the few shows that fit in around my busy wedding schedule.

This year New York Times technology columnist David Pogue was the general session keynote speaker. He was everything you want from a speaker, funny, informative and for those photographers out there… animated!
