Congress Photo Album

Taking your camera to Kyoto? Of course you should!

Kyoto has some of the most fabulous sites in Japan. But don't forget the many photo opportunities at the APSR2006 Congress, too. Snap pictures of new friends and acquaintances, and capture some of those special lectures, Poster Sessions, the banquet and the tea ceremony.

Then email your pictures to this site's admin who will add them to this page. Please write a small caption for each picture and confirm that people in your photos have agreed to publication. (Please do not send photographs through the post. We will not be able to use them nor can we return them.)
