I tried to share my Blender Conference pictures live yesterday, but my iPhone's battery drained a *lot* faster than I expected. So I'm calling the Blender Conference attendees: send us your pictures and we'll include them in our Flickr stream. Here's how to do it:

• Mail your picture to bart @ this website.
• For the mail subject, use 'Day: Title' (Like Saturday: dinner).
• You can include an optional description and your name in the email body.
• Use one email per photo.

All pictures will be available on the BlenderNation Flickr stream. Thanks!

I'm at the Blender Conference now and during the day I'll be shooting pictures of events and people. The pictures will go straight to our new BlenderNation Flickr stream. Enjoy!

The Blender Conference 2009 can be followed live here (Quicktime or VLC required). A full overview is available on the website of De Balie (page auto-translated from the original page in Dutch). Enjoy! BlenderNation will be at the scene tomorrow and I'll try to make a decent video report of the event.
