One of my favorite things about being a professional photographer is getting to learn about things I never would otherwise.  One of the ways I experience this is from photographing international conferences like the American Art Therapy Association 48th Annual Conference.  Just a month earlier I got to spend four days shooting the ABSA Conference, and for AATA 2017 three more days at the Albuquerque Convention Center learning about the important work art therapists do with their patients, and especially veterans.
