I attended the Amazing Adventures Travel And Leisure Expo (sponsored by the The Denver Post and Mike's Camera) at Denver's Wings Over The Rockies Air and Space Museum Saturday and had a great time. The featured speaker was my all-time hero, Rick Steves, who gave talks throughout the day. The place was packed, and it was standing room only for Rick's talks. My only complaint was that the speakers stage was in front of a huge bank of windows, and the speakers could only be seen in silhouette. I have three theories about this: One, Rick Steves is no longer a kid and didn't want the audience to notice this fact. Two, there were several great photographers giving "how-to" talks - including Rick Sammon and Andy Katz - and one of their lessons, which they obviously wanted to demonstrate, was to work with the conditions you are dealt. This is why, by the way, I am featuring the obviously recognizable silhouette of Rick Steves, giving one of his talks, in the photograph above. Three, they were just clueless. Personally, I am voting for number two, although I certainly wouldn't rule out numbers one or three, sports fans!
