Celebrating 30 Years at the AHA Dinner

Editor’s note: Our Lowepro colleague Rick from the Outdoor/Adventure team documented the American Himalayan Foundation’s “Infamous Annual Dinner” last month. This San Francisco event marked 30 years of making positive changes, and celebrated those achievements with its theme of “Do good, be kind, have fun!” Rick shares some highlights and images here.

“I had the opportunity to photograph the Annual American Himalayan Foundation Dinner on October 26. This was their 30th anniversary. If you’re not familiar with this organization, check out their web site. The foundation does great work in the Himalaya region of Nepal preserving the local culture, supporting and building hospitals and keeping young girls from being trafficked. AHF was founded 30 years ago by few folks who spent time climbing in the Himalaya.

Ed Viesturs, Jimmy Chin, and Conrad Anker

This 30th anniversary dinner was a celebration of those that have been to the summit of Everest. There were more than 20 people there who have made it to the top. The evening’s events included a panel discussion led by author Jon Krakauer who asked questions of Jim Whittaker, Tom Hornbein, Pete Athans, Conrad Anker, Ed Viestures, Jimmy Chin and Apa Sherpa. Apa has made the most visits to the summit—he’s been there 21 times!”

Wow! Day 3 at PPE was as stellar as the rest. We gave customers the “tour” of our new DSLR Video Fastpack AW. We launched it earlier in October, but today a lot more folks got to try it out. It’s an extension of our award-winning Fastpack series and is purpose built for multimedia photographers who shoot stills, video and capture sound.

Thanks so much to our Lowepro team on the convention center floor for their hard work, and an even bigger thanks to everyone who stopped by booth #1119 to spend time with us. As promised, we’re adding new photos, plus our Day 3 video of highlights for you.

The Lowepro team at PPE had another great day unveiling our new products, helping shooters choose the perfect bags for their work, and saying hello to our pro photographer friends, including Loweprofessionals Eric Meola and Cristina Mittermeier.

Today we showcased our travel-friendly Pro Roller Lite AW. It’s the ultra-lean and ultra-lightweight solution for shooters who carry a lot of pro-sized gear as they fly all over the world. Watch the Day 2 video and enjoy. There’s one more day of PPE tomorrow and more highlights to come from us.

Opening day at PPE is always exciting for us. We  meet some of our customers, touch base with pros who work with our gear, and get insights on the latest hardware, software and new ideas from the world of imagery.

Today we featured  Pro Messenger AW with the innovative flap and soft-sided, discreet profile. Here are highlights in our Day 1 video from the Lowepro booth (it’s #1119 if you plan to stop by Friday or Saturday) at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York.

We’ll have more to share tomorrow. So please check back.
