2008 Essence Literary Award Winning Books Announced
http://books.aalbc.com/2008_essence_literary_awards_nominees.htm
Would you believe I attended and forgot my camera! Actually I think I lost it today -- cause I can't find it. Bottom line I don't have any photos to share.
The awards program was standing room only event. There were plenty of notable authors, celebrities, and book industry professionals. It was a good mix of people.
Essence did a fine job for their first literary awards program.

Hey Troy,
Based on the page you linked to, I can't tell who won. Is it the first listed of each category? |

Hi Connie it was good to see you again too. I recall the last time was at your book signing at Tribal Spears in Harlem:
That was a nice write up on your site about the event. Let me know if you see any other write ups.
I'm glad you took the photo with me -- otherwise I doubt there would have been a record that I was there (smile). But, man did I look tired. I doubt I got more than 5 hours of sleep any night that week.
I eventually found my camera the next day in the back seat of my car. But you know, I enjoyed myself a little more not having to interrupt people to take their photograph.

I had forgotten all about this photo.
I know what you mean about taking photos at events. Lugging a camera around and bugging people is a chore in a way. The only reason I do it is for my blog and I think it's worth it in the end. Btw, you look great in the photo. |
