Like a Child in a Candy Store...

Description


----
At the PDN PhotoPlus Expo (trade show) at the Javits Convention Center in New York City.
-----
This woman was looking at the items in a glass showcase.
---
At the end of the show Saturday at 4 pm, the Convention Center crews were already rolling up the MILES (it seemed) of carpets that had covered the entire floor (about four city blocks). I was told that the huge rolls of carpets are discarded after EVERY show! What a phenomenal waste!
----
The show is an Autumn event every year.
---
[Hurricane Sandy is at our door. We live just north of Philadelphia--in the area that is expected to be hit the hardest. I see that the finalists have been announced--it may take a while for me to get to them.]
