Associated Pennsylvania Contractors Convention

Yesterday I photographed the APC (Associated Pennsylvania Contractors) annual convention. The event was a lot of (predominantly) engineering-type men in business suits listening to the state of road construction in Pennsylvania.

As part of the convention they brought in Stacy Allison. Stacy was the first American woman to reach the peak of Mount Everest. She was a dynamic speaker with a motivational message that was entertaining to listen to. I'd recommend her to anyone who comes across this page while considering hiring her as a speaker.

In the picture above Stacy is explaining the two jugs that when on the mountain you go to sleep with, and why you DON'T want to confuse them.

Here Stacy signs her book for one of the convention visitors.

The convention had a number of smaller seminars with speakers on various issues concerning road builders in Pennsylvania. Above is one such speaker.

Along with photographing the various speakers and moderators I photographed various members of the audience.

The trade show portion of the convention had several food sponsors. These booths were photographed with each company's staff.

Wade Nance - Blues Guitarist

Today I photographed Wade Nance for Fly Magazine. Wade is a talented blues guitarist and one heck of a nice guy. I caught up with him at the Fort Hunter Barn during a Susquehanna Folk Music Society meeting and jam session. The first three pictures are of Wade after the jam session. The others were taken while waiting for the session to finish. Just to highlight Wade's broad range of talent, he wasn't sporting the guitar for the jam, but rather a violin (errr... uh... fiddle I guess it would be).

And when is the last time you've seen a Limberjack?
