CNBloggerCon 2008. I don’t think I’ve ever worked so hard covering an event before as a blogger. In addition to dealing with the logistics of the visiting China 2.0 bloggers and Robert Scoble, and coordinating our liveblogging efforts, I also took photos like a paparazzi. My 280-photo CNBloggerCon 2008 Set is at my Flickr photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/elliottng/ and is all licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike license (by-nc-sa) so feel free to reuse. I earlier posted CNBloggerCon Pictures Part 1 and CNBloggerCon Pictures Part 2 but all those photos are now on Flickr.

elliottng, amazing photos! what a professional photographer! Your photos inspired me to read Freesouls book again.
I’d like quote a paragraph from foreword which written by Lawrence Lessig:
(http://freesouls.cc/essays/00-foreword-lawrence-lessig.html)
“The contribution of this project will only be measured finally when we have a clear sense of how many others follow Joi’s lead. But we can already learn the lessons from this project by paying attention to this beautiful book. Joi’s main contribution is not to the mainstream media, who can now freely use these images without paying him any compensation (save attribution). His main contribution is instead an artistic one. The art here captures its subjects beautifully because the artist understands something profound about the people he captures. His art shows us their soul (freely). He understands these people, and this understanding comes from the fact that Joi Ito is not a professional photographer, but is instead a professional elsewhere, who has used the understanding he has gained there to show us the people here.”
I feel Lawrence does not only say about Joi’s story, but also your story!
Thanks for your contributions to Cnbloggercon! Thanks CN Reviews team again!
