4D Summit 2002 Photos
Here is a collection of photos from the 4D Summit in Vancouver, October 7 - 11, 2002.
First, let me present the many moods of Vancouver, as seen from my hotel room:
And now, on to the 4D Summit:
 |
Wednesday, October 9, 2002: It was Day 3 of the Summit before I realized that I didn't just have to photograph scenery or royalty. So, I got a shot of Brendan looking quite fabulous after recently getting in shape. |
 |
But, enough about the conference. Wednesday's "Evening with 4D" outing involved a beautiful Vancouver Harbour cruise, with dinner, drinks and complimentary gambling. Here is Ken counting up his roulette winnings. |
 |
Brrr! It's cold and windy abovedecks! Tom (right) wished I had loaned him my Aqua Net All-Weather Extra Super Hold hairspray, while Christian wished I knew how to use the red-eye reduction feature in PaintShop Pro. |
 |
On the top deck, Alexander (second from right) shared one of his many opinions, while various 4D-Pub members listened in. Everyone gets along just fine when the beverages are real instead of virtual. |
 |
My homies Chris, Mike, Scott, Lee and Jeff strike their baddest 4D developer poses for me. |
 |
Diana is one of my new fave pals from the Summit. Thanks go out to SV for introducing us! |
 |
4D passed out attractive blue earrings as souvenirs, which were modeled here by Love-And-Kisses-Man, Lo. These multi-purpose earrings (also known as carabiners), featured a clock and compass, which would have come in handy earlier in the week when it was foggy and I had no idea where north was. |
 |
John tried to look innocent even though many witnesses testified that he was the one throwing ice cubes at me. |
 |
After the cruise, in the first bar we closed down Wednesday evening, Doug and Scott listened to 4D-Pub regular Steve share his opinions in person. |
 |
Here we have proof that Mike is the best looking 4D developer. Or maybe it's just the beer goggle filter I used on my camera. |
 |
Thursday, October 10, 2002: On Thursday, we had lovely weather, so a stroll around the convention center was in order. Here's a fine Canadian bird, with North Vancouver in the distance. |
 |
Sunshine makes for good smoking weather, too. Here, photographer Jeff caught me trying to talk Steven (left) into revealing the inspiration behind his component-naming scheme. Michael and Alex anxiously awaited the answer as well. |
 |
Just before the wrap up session, Brendan and Mike conferred on what additional tricks they had up their sleeves. |
 |
Doug and Dan were prepared to rush the microphone with their questions during the Q&A session. |
 |
Friday, October 11, 2002: On Friday morning, it was time to say goodbye to my new and old 4D pals. Here's one of the new ones: Pete from New Zealand. It was a great conference! |
