  2. I will be at BOX! Only 3999 to go!

    I always look forward to your photographic coverage – consistently beautiful. My co-host for the evening was the talented Stephen Heron, husband to the lovely Amy Schleuter who finally made it out to an Ignite (with 3 kids, including a relatively new set of twins, it’s not been easy!) The other photographer was Erich Nolan Bertussi from Cambridge who’s been a friend of Ignite for some time – though never in an official capacity. Always great to see you out at Ignite, and thanks!

      Awesome! Thanks David and you’re welcome.
      You guys run a great event that is a real gem for the region. Glad I can chip in my little bit to help.

    Thanks for the shoe award, they go with everything got them at a great little art /shoe store off the main square in Cusco, Peru.

  5. James Howe says:

    Hey there! Definitely some wonderful shots here that capture the evening. You’ve even got a great action shot of me speaking. I must admit though that I never expected to see a shot of just my shoes–but there it is and it’s a fantastic shot!

    Thanks for taking them and sharing!
