Stroke of Genius at the 2003 PSOA show

[Cynthia Daniel]

Thought I'd share a few photos from the conference with everyone. I had a silly little throw-away camera, so they are not great photos.

Here's my booth. This is the first year I really went all out to create an impact with my booth. I did make a big difference and was well worth it. It probably doesn't look like it from the photo, but it was a lot of work and planning, starting a good two months ahead. At one point, Daniel Greene was just standing there silently looking and taking everything in and gave me his card.

Figuring out how to make and hang those web site screen shots along the back wall was a challenge. I finally found the right hardware on the web and then it all had to be painted black.

Of course, it would have been much easier if I'd not been so darn picky. I even brought my own floor lamp, which is peeking out behind the easel with photos of SOG members. I also brought the rug, easel, tablecover and the bamboo folding chair with a zebra cushion just to add to the ambience. The tablecover and cushion were custom-made.

Each night I took my laptop to my room and unfortunately, I forgot to set up my laptop before I shot this photo. It's supposed to be on the dark stand on the table.

The booths were very narrow, so on the right, you're seeing part of the Wallis booth and on the left, part of the Genesis booth where Karin Wells was demonstrating.

Almost forgot that on the left front of the table are the paintbrush pens I sold at the show. However, SOG members got one for free at our Thursday night dinner.
