Worldcon Chairs Photo Session 2009

[kevin_standlee]

The traditional Worldcon Chairs Photo Session this year was right after the WSFS Business Meeting, the better to catch past, present, and future Worldcon chairs in their native environment and before they scattered to the winds on Sunday. (Besides, there's rarely been sufficient room at the Old Pharts Party for the photo.) After everyone took photos, Lisa took this video, asking the Chairs to give their names and conventions for the historical record.

Watch on YouTube

In answer to a question raised on one of the still photos of this session I saw, note that Tim Illingworth was co-chairman of Intersection for a time, although he was not one of the co-chairs at the convention itself. This is explained in a footnote to the Long List of Worldcons.

Feel free to pass the link to this video on to anyone think might be interested.

I wasn't there to take pictures.

I hope someone sends me one...

See here and the other photos before it.

Kevin, that points to photos that either are missing people on the left side, or have Lisa Hayes in the foreground.

Does Lisa have a good shot we can use, please?

We do not have still photos of 2009 because Lisa took only video.

I've put all of the Worldcon Chair Photos that I have in an album on Flickr. That includes 2010, 2012, and 2013. I cannot find 2011 photos in my collection although I continue to look for them.

is there a link to the pictures?

Some people have posted photos they took. I've seen some such as this one and this one.

Personally, since our camera was used to shoot the video, we only have the video (link above as well as the embedded copy).

And it looks like Dave Kyle told some of them that they could sit there.
