This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend and photograph the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) conference in the heart of Chicago. Armed with a Canon R3, I immersed myself in the vibrant atmosphere of the conference halls and exhibit spaces, capturing the energy and essence of this world-class event.
One of the perks of covering a medical conference is getting a front-row seat to the latest cutting-edge advancements in healthcare. It’s always fascinating to see the innovations that are shaping the future of medicine. Recently, I had the chance to witness something pretty unique: a demonstration involving a cadaver, used to showcase a new surgical tool.
Now, while I can't dive into the technical details (and honestly, I might not even understand them all!), there’s something undeniably cool about watching medical professionals at work up close. The precision, the focus—it’s a different kind of artistry. You can feel the gravity of the moment as they introduce technology that could potentially change lives.
It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do. I get to be in the room for these incredible events, capturing the energy and progress that comes with each new breakthrough. Even when I can’t share all the specifics, it’s still exciting to be part of documenting these milestones in the medical field.
