Over the weekend, I attended the PAX09 Game Conference in Seattle. This is the largest conference of it's kind in the US, attended by 80,000 of my closest friends. I got into the show early on a Speaker's badge (and therein lies a tale) and had a chance to take about 500 photos on the trade show floor. Here's a teaser:
There were booths, booth babes, games, game art and an entirely eclectic game fan base. Check out the best of the photos and the color commentary here: PAX09
Photographically, this was challenging. The show floor was pretty dark, and I had to crank up my ISO to 6400 to get decent shutter speeds. People kept getting in the way of what I wanted to shoot. And I kept tripping on my tongue when a lovely booth babe happened to walk by. Ah, the price we pay for our art.
I hope you enjoy the photos and welcome comments. |
