SPE National 2010 was another amazing experience. It's been a year or two since I met as many people as I did on this trip. Below I posted a few cards from all the people I talked to - about who they were, where they were from and mostly, their work. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be able to post a little bit more about their current happenings. Everything I saw was pretty fantastic.
This year I can't say enough good things about SPE in general. There were a few mumblings about how nobody was going to attend a conference on diversity but based on the turnout, I believe that didn't keep people away. And yes, if you're wondering, I have no official data to back this claim up but it seemed to me, as years go, it was a pretty full event.
There were some really great lectures on everything from eduction to Nicéphore Niépce and random artifacts now being persevered in his former house in Saint-Loup de Varennes. I went to as many events as I could but every year so many go unattended dude to scheduling but I tried to get in as many as possible. Lots of good stuff there.
The portfolio reviews and the curator walk though were as strong as ever. Each year I swear the curator walkthrough gets more and more popular. This year there was still tons of people looking at work as the dance party took off. Normally it's over far before the legendary dance party. It's really cool to see so many people looking at work.
Anyway, check out the cards below and look for a few postings featuring the work of the owner in the future. On a related note, if your reading this and for one reason or another we didn't exchange cards and you would like me to write a little something about your work, drop me a line and we work something out.
