It's Geeky Fun

Checking in from legendary geek-fest Gnomedex. The Raincity Studios squad of Francis Pilon, Kris Krug and I arrived yesterday in time for the kick off party (naturally) and seeing old friends and making new ones.

So many people here doing remarkable projects across many disciplines. But rather than name checking everyone (i'll get to that eventually), this dispatch is to say that RCS' KK kicked off the event with a great preso about making better photos.

The tips were augmented by charming examples from his massive portfolio and he'll likely be busy the rest of the con-fab with his offer of a photoshoot in exchange for tasty links to his Vancouver photography studio.  

His presentation will be posted somewhere sometime soon with a CC license for your sharing goodtimes. Stay aware and i'll be sure to link it up.

UPDATE: Kris Krug "making better photos" presentation

Tool Box - follow along with the fun!

Bonus:

Big ups to the iterasi crew from Portland who rolled up in a converted school bus with Neal Cassady's mellow incarnation at the wheel.

I wore my Kerouac shirt to be on the bus (figuratively at least) and was sure to break KK's photo tips of avoiding lame hand gesture.
