Hey everyone.. RC here just posting a quick update from our inagural \u00a0Google+ for Photographers Conference here at the Yerba Buena Gardens in San Franciso<\/a>. \u00a0The entire group is overjoyed at the level of energy and participation that we have gotten from this sold out crowd. \u00a0It’s wild in that the energy is so unlike anything that we’ve seen out there. \u00a0People are really excited and interested in what Google+ is, and how they can get involved.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The registration for the event is held at the Yerba Buena Gardens, split between two buildings. \u00a0The entire conference has a gallery feel to it. \u00a0Very clean, with a lot of red and white pronounced everywhere. \u00a0It just feels very modern.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jim Goldstein of BorrowLenses<\/a> has been so instrumental at the conference. \u00a0In addition to providing any gear that some instructors needed (which helped soo much with baggage feels and the like). they also provided charging stations for people to get a little juice during the conference. \u00a0People were really into BorrowLenses, and we could not thank them enough for their support during their conference. \u00a0They could not have made the lens rental process easier for people here..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Matt Kloskowski is rocking the crowd at one of his first presentations..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My buddy Sarah Jane Todd from Peachpit<\/a> is catching up on stuff and serving as the biggest smile in the conference area. \u00a0There are a bunch of books for you to check out here, thanks to Peachpit!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here you go, my buddy Nick is rocking it at the Smugmug<\/a> area. \u00a0Smugmug not only doing demos of their service (of which ive immediately signed up for). but the team actually went through the process of baking a BUNCH of really cool sweet treats. \u00a0Thanks for Camera Awesome! Thanks for Smugmug! and Thanks for the sweets!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The one, the only, Guy Kawasaki<\/a> rocking the stage at the conference!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We all wear many hats around here. \u00a0This time around, Photoshop Guy Pete Collins<\/a> is helping out in the moderation of all of the chats!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Guy Kawasaki, Scott Kelby,<\/a> and Dave Gales hanging out after Guy’s talk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Scott is explaining the point that sometimes, the person you shoot makes a difference. \u00a0You can have all of the best light and location…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But a different person can give a completely different meaning..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
