All told, I shot about 1400 pictures, posting just over 200 of them. There are pictures of the awards ceremonies that haven't been posted (Drew will post those, I think).
I had a lot of fun. I hope people enjoy the pics.

Some tips for future GDC speakers, panelists, and presenters (to make my life as a photographer much easier, and my photographs of you much better):
1. Don't hide behind your podium.
1.a. Panelists: Don't hide behind your microphone/open laptop.
2. Don't stand there with your hands in your pockets.

Almost.
My camera is ready. I have a couple new lenses to play with, a new monopod to prop them up, and a new bag to carry it all around with. Now to get the rest of my packing done...
I'm planning to shoot the expo (of course), the keynotes, the awards ceremony, as many sessions as they'll let me in…

Not only does David Michalson's name seem a lot like mine (David Michael), but he resembles one of my younger brothers. I mentioned this to him, but he didn't really believe me, I think. Here's the proof:

Just noticed that all my photos in the gallery are being squashed. The display software is forcing all of the images to be 4x3 aspect ratio...and I shoot 3x2. Plus, it's screwing up the vertical format shots.
Ick.
If you want to see my pics, you'll have to see them here, I guess, in the blog.

Serious Games Summit ReceptionThis was the only party I went to last night with enough light to take pictures. The GDC Mobile reception had the lights dimmed, and the Infospace party was a frickin' cave.-David

GDC 2006 Day 1 - AfternoonI saw some NVidia guys putting together a development test "phone". I had never seen one of those before, so I took some pictures. They were doing it to show off some new chip-thing-or-the-other but I just thought it was interesting to see what a "phone in development" loo…

GDC Day 4
I'm getting tired and looking forward to going home. But I've had a blast this week.
Yesterday, GDC Day 4, I didn't get to as many sessions as I had planned to. That often happens in the last day or two of the conference. For me, anyway. There's only so much new information I can take in be…

As I already mentioned, I started GDC Day 3 by winning a TV (Microsoft gave away 1000 of those). A nice way to start the day. :)

GDC Day 3 - Prize Notification
I won a Samsung 23" wide HDTV monitor (which will work as a TV). Why? Because I'm skilled? Talented? Stunningly good looking? While all of those are true, they're not how I won.
I won by being a contrarion. The guy at the door offered me a black card and I said, "Hell,…

Yesterday was a busy day. I attended Marc Prensky's "400 (Serious) Games Later: Best Takeaways", where I learned that one of the "best takeaways" in NYC is the Shun Lee Palace. ;-) And in the afternoon I discovered that the session I had planned to attend had been moved to the morning and …
