Photographer Almost Loses it with CEA TechHome Execs
Video: Photographer grows impatient getting CEA TechHome board members and Leadership Award winners to pose for picture during CES 2012.
How many photographers does it take to snap a picture of the CEA TechHome board and Leadership Award winners during CES 2012?
The answer: Just one, but it takes a good five minutes.
Here, the photographer gets impatient with the execs, even though they appear to be very well behaved for a change. Watch the eye-rolling and other gestures by the subjects … they’re growing impatient as well.
The photo was taken during the CEA TechHome Mark of Excellence Awards, held for the first time during the Consumer Electronics Show. The awards and reception took place on the showfloor in the CEPro@CES TechZone.
Below is the video of "The Taking of the TechHome Photo" and below that is my version of the final picture.

Stopping all these these great minds from talking for 10 seconds is like herding cats! Now I have appreciation for photographers who take elementary school classroom photos.
