I visited Grapevine, Texas January 9-13 for the annual American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) SciTech conference at the Gaylord Texan. If you are an aerospace or related STEM student or professional, I highly recommend attending SciTech to hear from decision makers, attend technical talks, and network with your colleagues from academia, government, and industry. If you want to get involved, join the AIAA and volunteer to serve in your local chapter or on a technical committee.
For the trip, I packed my Fuji X100s in my business case anticipating opportunities to get out and shoot. Unfortunately, my schedule ended up being quite full throughout the week (7AM to 10PM days) and I did not find time to leave the hotel and take photos. On my final night before dinner, camera in hand, I took a walk through the resort that includes two large atriums with restsuarants, water features, and common spaces. Some of those photos are included below and all were shot with the Fuji X100s handheld.
Thanks for stopping by today!
