2011 HLAA Convention Photos Submitted By Netagene

Netagene Kirkpatrick, a first time HLAA Convention attendee from Birmingham Alabama, wanted to share her photographs and experiences. Below are some of her photographs and a description of each.

Thank you Netagene!

The first place I headed when I got to the hotel and had registered, was to find the Scott family, of Hayleigh's Cherished Charms. So I am REALLY bedraggled in this picture, having gotten off Amtrak (17 hours turned into 19 because of storms in Georgia), and managed to navigate DC's Metro, a bit scary for me because I am also high partial legally blind! In this picture, taken in front of Hayleigh's exhibit, left to right: Hayleigh, her twin Vienna (they are now 12 years old), me (Netagene Kirkpatrick), and Sarah (I think she's 9 this week).

What an amazing and colorful lobby! I made this from the floor above the lobby.


Me (Netagene) with Ivey Jackson. Ivey and I both live here in Birmingham, AL. We met in person only a couple of months ago. It was his idea that we have this picture made.

Again, thank you Netagene for sharing!
