Wow, what a great line-up! I wish I lived in your neck of the woods. On a side note, I saw Steve McCurry speak the last time he was in Toronto and I have to say that I was not all that impressed. Much of his work is truly amazing. So I had very high hopes for his lecture. But I was a bit surprised that the man who has taken such sensitive photographs did not come off as quite so sensitive in person. For one thing, he has been to Afghanistan at least 21 times but does not speak the language at all. I found that a bit surprising. Nevertheless, I wish I could attend the conference. Enjoy!
