David Coulthard at Yas Marina, Abu Dhabi

There are days in most jobs where it doesn't seem like work for a few moments. Since I moved from part-time to full-time Photography, these moments are becoming increasingly more common to me and now dominate most of my days. However, some days stand out even further than others ....


.... such as today, at the IBM Software Day 2013 held in the Media Centre at Yas Marina Motor Racing Circuit, near Abu Dhabi ....


.... when I got the priviledge of photographing, then meeting and chatting with both Jason Silva (who gave a very fast-paced motivational speech on the history of technology, and the imminent developments that will revolutionise all of our lives) ....


.... and one of my heros, David Coulthard (appropriately, the first ever Formula 1 driver to drive around the new race circuit right outside this conference room at Yas Marina), who also gave an excellent and very humorous motivational speech. Both Jason and David stayed on for dinner and afterwards to answer questions, sign autographs and be truly great guys :-)



Not very interesting after Jason and David, but there was a racing car parked up outside the Media Centre with the IBM Software Day 2013 branding stickers all over it ....



.... and the Conference Room inside the Media Centre is one of the largest in the world, and was filled to capacity by the participants of the IBM Software 2013 Day.

(more photos to follow soon ....)
