Photographs From the Convention


best seen at 1024x768 resolution

This was a most remarkable convention and some of it was captured through digital photography. Not all of the photos are presented and anyone wishing to inquire about a photograph they know was taken can ask the Webmaster about that - be sure to give as much information as possible. Photos were taken by Bob Lane and by Charles Livermore. There were other photographers and if you know which one took the photo you want, please mention that or make contact with that photographer directly.

All attending BNAPS award-winners were photographed. We will try to add these but anyone wishing to see a photo can ask the Webmaster, being sure to adequately describe what you wish. Some captions below are scanty and additional detail will be welcomed.

Categories of photographs: The Show, Pier 21, Awards Banquet, Business meetings.

It would not be efficient to show the photos on a continuous page. For each category, there are captions that you can click on.
