BlogHer Convention 2010

Last week, 2,400 bloggers met at the Hilton hotel in New York City for BlogHer 2010. I was there to photograph the event.

Parties, laughter, food, hugging, hey – how have you been, learning, more laughs, Tom-foolery, then more parties. And that was just the first night. It went on like that for three days.

For me, being there was great fun. I saw plenty of folks I know and love, and met some people I’ve always wanted to meet. But I wasn’t there to glad hand. I was there to work. And so that’s just what I did. My days started at 7am and ended around 11pm or 12pm. Good thing I have comfortable shoes.

Here’s a slice of how things played out.

Big thanks to Trevor Christensen who came to shoot with me, and a big thanks to BlogHer and all the BlogHer staff that were so fun and friendly, and who made this event such a joy to photograph.

Justin Hackworth photographs happy people and beautiful events and he wants to photograph you.

Hi Justin!

I really wanted to get a chance to say hello to you, and talk cameras and lenses. You know, kinda like when pilots get together and talk planes and airspeed and whatnot. Never got my chance.

Regardless, great images. Cheers!

events are your forte my friend. very nicely done!

Also, that Grayson kid looks just like Justin Beiber. My heart skipped a beat for a second because I LOVE me some Justin Beiber.

Any Justin Hackworth for that matter. :)

I saw these when you posted them to FB! What an incredible event – you documented it so well!

These are amazing. You totally captured the spirit of the whole thing.

Hey! Just today I thought “Too bad Justin Hackworth doesn’t know Pioneer Woman.” Turns out you do!!

Claudia Corrigan D'Arcy August 16, 2010 at 11:43 pm

oh, THERE is that picture that you snapped of me!

Whew, I feel better knowing that my pink-boa-tiara-wearing days can never be used as blackmail!

Great shots!

Great shots, man. It was nice meeting you, also. Hope that you were able to enjoy yourself a bit while you were in town.
