Professional Pics from DC

Apparently there was a professional photographer at the Annual SLA conference in DC.  Somehow the aforementioned photographer managed to snap a few unsuspecting, and suspecting, photos of members of the KY Chapter.  I grabbed a few of the best shots and added them to the photo album in the left hand margin.  If you're reading this at a later time when that album is no longer to the left, you can always access the album here: http://sla-divisions.typepad.com/photos/ky_in_dc/.
