I had forgotten I took it, actually, but found it the next morning. I have a bunch of those "reflected in the elevator mirror late at night" shots from around the world, so maybe I need to make that a theme. They're pretty easy to get, if you remember to do it. Scott, you're seeing TechEd clearly: it's an excuse for a bunch of geeks to get together and drink. I think there are 15 or 20 of them worldwide each year -- Megan and I will be going to the one in Barcelona later this fall. And we have an invitation from an Irishman to join the Irish party at that one. Those guys are know to tip a drink occasionally, I think. Glad you enjoyed that shot, Tom.

That elevator picture may well be my favorite picture of you ever (though the Forrest Gump and red shrine pictures from India are very good, too -- do you still have those?). It just captures that burpy alone moment in an elevator after a long night better than anything I've ever seen before. Now some would argue that that moment needn't be captured, but I would disagree. Life is art, baby, and that photo ranks up there with Iwo Jima and the sailor kissing the girl on VJ Day. How's THAT for superlatives?
