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 into, and anyone famous (or semi-famous; or just cute) that I manage to bump into. Plus, I'm sure I'll make a lot of crazy-ass, arty-to-the-point-of-pretentious shots and make a Japanese tourist look detached and uninterested (no offense to any Japanese tourists who maybe reading; you probably have better glass than me).
I arrive in San Francisco on Sunday afternoon. I'm hoping I'll get some "local color" pictures, as well. I walked through Chinatown last time I was there (2005), but I didn't have my camera with me.
I'll be posting selected pictures in my blog here, as well as on my Joe Indie blog. And the best shots will also be posted to my photo blog. And pretty much everything I shoot that's in focus and doesn't seem inappropriate will be in the GDNet GDC galleries.
More news as it happens.
