Our official photographers have been busy--since before Opening Ceremonies, they have been busy taking candid and posed pictures of Worldcon, so we can have memories that will always be Spectactular.

Worldcon76.org now has a photo gallery that includes all of the photos the official photographers have chosen to share with the convention. Check the photo gallery often, as it will get updated almost hourly with new images of panels, performances, debates, pun-contests, and awesome moments at the world's biggest science fiction convention.
