Con-Dor 8 (May-2000) part 1

Con-Dor is the reason that "Hazel's Picture Gallery" exists. When I got my first digital camera, the first place I took it to play with it was Con-Dor 5, in 1997. I took so many pictures that I had to come up with some sort of way to organize and keep track of them - and this page was born.

Now the Picture Gallery is the single biggest part of www.boston-baden.com. There are people that bookmark the page and check it daily, just to see what I've put online. And when Con-Dor came around again this year, I had a new camera. I decided I'd try to see how many pictures I could take at one convention - and keep track of caption information for all of them, too.

At the convention, I handed out little paw-print stickers, and business cards listing my web page, to everyone who I'd taken a picture of and written down their name. By the end of the convention there were a lot of badges with paw-prints! I decided to get them up right away, instead of letting them sit in the backlog. I hope you enjoy them. I enjoyed the convention, and I'll be back next year - although not necessarily with such an obsessive goal in mind.

(May-2000)

Around 6:00 pm on Friday, Registration shut down and disappeared. There had been some talk about moving Reg to the Con Suite -- which, I heard later, would have meant having the Con Suite staff handling badges and/or money, not the Reg people -- but Reg didn't reopen until the next morning. Likewise on Saturday, Reg closed at dinner-time and vanished.
