Last Arena Construction Photoblogging Before Brief New Jersey Photoblogging Interlude

Just a last couple of shots before I get to the New Jersey photos I took before and after my sister’s wedding… last September. (I did process the wedding photos themselves right away – I don’t completely suck…)

The Return Of Arena Construction Photoblogging

The sad thing is that the arena is actually finished now.  These photos are from almost a full year ago, that’s how long my photo-processing hiatus has been.

The Return Of Netroots Nation Convention Center Photoblogging

Okay, I think this is the last of the convention center photos – next up, the closing keynote.

Convention Center 28

Pretty damn cool, as elevators go.

Convention Center 37

A nice empty corridor.

Convention Center Ceiling 9

Close-up of the tubes and lights in the big hall.

Convention Center 40

The overpriced concession stand.

Convention Center 41

Umm… Ceiling thingy? Possibly the underside of the escalator.

Obama Cutouts

Hey, look who beamed in! Uh, twice, apparently.

Yes, I still have more photos of the building…

Convention Center 17

For those of you new to this blog, I really like shadows.

Mystery Stairway!

Convention Center 26

I am fascinated by the upper reaches of the main halls.

More pictures of the convention center itself:

I suppose this could technically be considered a people photo…

Convention Center 11

I like the exposed structural elements.

Netroots Nation Arlen Specter Photoblogging

Hey look, it’s my new *cough* Democratic senator, Arlen Specter! He actually made a very good case for himself, provided you don’t know anything about his actual legislative record.

Specter 1

Arlen looks out at the audience and wonders what he’s gotten himself into.

Specter 2

Reviewing his index cards.

Specter 4

Behold, he smiles!

Specter 6

If I blow this up all the way, I can almost read his index card, but it’s just a little too blurry. Phooey.

Specter 7

Arlen gestures very sincerely.

Netroots Nation Convention Center Photoblogging

The five of you who read my blog regularly know that all these people pictures I’ve been posting from Netroots Nation are totally out of character for me. I’m much more comfortable walking around taking pictures of the building itself. Like so:

Convention Center Ceiling 1

Yes, I was taking pictures of the ceiling during the opening keynote ceremony.

Convention Center Stage Railing

The railing on the stage right before Bill Clinton appeared. Although I assume it looked pretty much the same after he appeared, too.

Convention Chairs 1

Chairs waiting for Mike Lux, Tanya Tarr, and Howard Dean.

Convention Center 4

This was on the other side from the main hall where the keynotes were. I guess it’s basically for storage and spare parts.

Convention Center 6

It looks a little bit like the inside of an alien spacecraft…

More random photos about town.

Tanker Reflection

One of those overhead latticework sign-holding thingies reflected in a tanker truck. Would have liked to have done more with it, but I only had time to grab a shot or two before the light changed.

Arena Construction 34

More arena construction. Not sure what those strips hanging down are for.

Crane Underarm

A crane underarm, to the extent that cranes can be said to have underarms.

What can I say, they’re photogenic. I just wish my autofocus hadn’t decided that the backdrop behind the drummer was more interesting than the drummer himself…
