Well, here are some photo highlights from day one of AEA 2012. I was an AEA volunteer photographer for that evening. It’s always neat to go from one place to another, exploring all the nooks and crannies, while on “official business”. It’s a lot like doing ethnographic research, only with less stake and perhaps more fun! Typically, I shoot with a dSLR for event photography. Because of air travel/customs, I defaulted back on to my five-year-old point-and-shoot. Not my favourite toy in my bag of goodies, but certainly did the trick!
