2008 Year in Photos - Part 2
/
This post rounds out my photo review for 2008. I posted about the first half of the year yesterday, and here's the rest.
That's it for me in 2008. Enjoy New Year's and I'll be back blogging in a few days.
Toronto Tech Week, Toronto, September
TMC IT Expo, Fall Show, Los Angeles, September
The Three Tenors... Amigos... whatever. How's that for an unlikely group shot? This would have been completely unimaginable a year ago, and it says a lot about how much the industy has changed in 2008.
Andy Abramson's wine dinner - always a highlight at conferences he attends.
BroadSoft Connections, Phoenix, October
Above: Walt Mossberg - what a treat! - and colleague Thomas Howe, winner of BroadSoft's mashup competition
Avaya Global Analyst Conference, Boston, October
Another interesting image you would have never imagined a year or so ago - Charlie Giancarlo leading the team at Avaya.
Ericsson Experience Center Roadshow, Toronto, October
CDN Channel Elite Awards Gala, Toronto, October
KOTRA Showcase - Korean Trade Association, Dallas, November
Just a few of the really interesting products on display - a Kindle-style reader, 3D television, and a mobile video cam that you can strap on pretty much anywhere...
My Dealey Plaza Pilgrimage, Dallas, November
Being in Dallas the day after Barack Obama's election win, how could I NOT do this? I thought it was a great alignment of history, with so many parallels and inspirations to be drawn from JFK. Here are a few highlights from my expedition, and to see/read more, please check out my more extensive photo essay.
Here's my favorite shot - not just for this trip, but for all of 2008. To me, it sums up the spirit of what I experienced that morning. It's bit hard to discern in this format, but the shot was taken in front of the JFK Memorial, with the inscription of his name showing in the cenotaph in the background. Of all the people who happened to be in Dallas on that historic day, I didn't see anybody making connections like this...
Here are a couple more - the infamous Grassy Knoll, and the view of JFK's motorcade route, including the "X" mark where he was shot, and the Book Depository building at the left...
Tekelec Analyst Day, Morrisville, NC, November
CEO Frank Plastina
Cisco C-Scape 2008, San Jose, December
Above: John Chambers holding court, Rick Moran's SMB breakout, Art Hair's presentation about how Disney is using Cisco's solutions - very interesting stuff!
Avaya Canada Analyst Day, Toronto, December
New Canadian GM, Gerard Baglieri
