Cory Doctorow at The Booksmith in San Francisco Homeland tour

I had the honor of shooting Cory Doctorow giving a talk at The Booksmith in San Francisco upon the release of his new YA novel Homeland. I’ve had the fortune to meet and shoot Cory before, and he’s always inspiring and energizing. Not to go to far off topic from my photography, but his talk about the coming war on general purpose computing is some of the most illuminating information I’ve ever heard about the deep consequences of content owners who are willing to go to any length to protect their copyright.

Photos from EFF benefit Geek Reading: Cory Doctorow's 'For the Win'"

Yesterday, the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) hosted a talk by science fiction author Cory Doctorow. He gave an inspiring talk about how over enforcement of copyright could kill the freedoms we have on the internet. That might be a slightly glib summary. It is late.

The full audio of the talk is here:

I was the photographer for the event.

I got a nice shout-out from Cory here:
