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.

Elliott Erwitt and Alec Soth at PhotoPlus

I’m home now, but all last week I was in New York for the PhotoPlus Expo. It’s a trade show and a series of lectures and discussion groups for professional photographers. On Thursday, I got to hear one of the world’s all-time great photographers: Elliott Erwitt. He was funny and inspiring. He was joined on stage with Alec Soth. If you care to read a detailed account of the evening, it’s posted here on PDN’s site.

This was so exciting for me. I’ve admired this guy for years. Truly, he is one of my idols and being able to hear him speak about a creative life was such a thrill.
