Snyder's attack PhotoPlus Expo - NYC

Last weekend history was made (in the Snyder family) at the annual PhotoPlus Expo in NYC at the Javits Center. Father & son working the same show. I represented Adorama, and for the 1st time, David worked the show for Nikon.
I thought our booth was busy, but when you took a look at Nikon's huge 70x70' exhibit, all you could see was a flood of people. David got quite the intro to trade shows, being asked every possible question from A to Z for three days straight.
On Saturday of the show, Dad/Grandpa (Stanley) took the train up to walk the floor with me and to see David in action. Needless to say, we were both very proud, of my son, and Dad's grandson out in the real world...Lots of smiles! Dad got a chance to meet and hear some legends of the industry speak on Saturday too, Joe McNally, Moose Peterson, Cliff Mauntner, and Ron Magill from the Miami Zoo, who brought an 8 week old leopard out on the Nikon stage.
The three of us had a great dinner together in NYC, before heading back home on Sunday, watching the Redskins beat the Lions the whole way via Amtrak on Slingbox (Slingbox is possibly the best invention since the napkin)
All in all, we had a great weekend! Oh, and thanks to my buddy, Bill Auth for snapping the image you see here.
