05/31/09 I had a ball last night at the White House News Photographers Association’s 88th Annual Awards Dinner. The audience was as loud as I predicted in my previous post but they did quiet down for the President’s video tribute to photogs. There was some grumbling about the Prez not being there but everyone is confident that he will show up for one of these shindigs before his time in office passes.

A couple of my friends were award winners and it was cool to see them get their due. You can see all the winning entries here.

Here’s the group I was hanging with at one of the Reuters News Agency tables.
