Fog in San Diego

The fog rolled in this afternoon around 4:00pm and provided an early darkening of the skies. We finished up the main stage setup and I returned to my photography detail around 5:00pm. Most of the shots I was trying to get were inside and the fog outside really reduced my light in the bookstore and registration areas. In the end I wasn’t able to capture many good shots.

We headed out to dinner around 7:00pm and were joined by some of the Zondervan staff and a few more volunteers at The Cheesecake Factory. All in all we managed to get 17 people from the convention seated on their patio and enjoyed a nice dinner. We left immediately after dinner as our son was falling asleep at the table (he’d worked hard today!). Another day in the books . . .

LIVE from San Diego, It’s the 2007 National Pastors Convention!

We’re live online today! After four days of limited connectivity I’m online in the NPC Digital Cafe’. I’ll get caught up on what’s been going on over the last few days, although for now suffice it to say we spent two days sight-seeing and yesterday and today have been filled with setup functions. NPC officially begins today with registration open at 9:00am. The bookstore is already bustling . . . understandable as Zondervan and InterVarsity Press are selling virtually all of their books at 50% off; a great deal for attendees and us voluteers!

This morning began with a general meeting for the Zondervan staff and volunteers. Shortly after 8:00am I joined about 15 other volunteers and Zondervan staffers in unloading the semi for the main stage setup. I’m back to the main stage shortly to continue working with the crew from DB Productions.

The conference is going to be great! There are some fantastic speakers and great specialty sessions too. I’ll be covering as much as possible while snapping photos of virtually everything. Stay tuned and check back often – I hope to be posting every few hours with updates.
