Tear down of the CPOY setup in Tucker Forum. It is amazing how much stuff (and especially how many cables) are needed, just to see a few pictures.

More of the same, but I think that these are interesting to demonstrate the sheer number of images viewed in a day during CPOY judging.  Today we viewed over 50 multimedia video projects, and over 1,600 portrait submissions.  This timelapse consists of 1,439 images taken over an 11hour period and compressed into 29seconds and 22frames.
