Photo Imaging Expo 2009

I havent been going out to take pictures lately, i.e the past few months! but this event has been on my calender for quite some time. PIE 2009, or Photo Imaging Expo 2009 is being held at Tokyo Big Sight in Tokyo. Though i think the design is abit weird, 2 upside down pyramids? but it was so huge that its presence could be felt from afar.

PIE 2009. Was rather disappointed with the lack of new products but i shouldnt have expected much in the first place with the worsening economic climate and all. I thought the crowd was kinda small but that's because my only other comparison of expos here is Tokyo Motor Show and that is just massive!
The booths.


There wasnt much the see, except for photos from contests and so on. some i really really liked. and i listened to a talk by the photo editor and photographer of Numero Tokyo(fashion mag). was quite an insight to see how the ran stuff.

The rest of the time was spent on snapping booth girls and shows. The Canon models.
