To close out my reflections on AXPONA 2019, I am publishing my photographic portraits from AXPONA 2019…the faces and moments seen, and created.
Many of these were published several at a time at Facebook immediately after the event, as mementos. Now they are available all at once, given in no particular order...a photo book of image, moments, and memories.
People are the most important element of fine audio shows; they catch my eye all the time.
This is what I saw, and what I share with you....
As is traditional for Carol and I, she gives a toast to the photographer (water color effect)
