The Atheist Alliance International (AAI) is looking for photos taken at the 2007 “Crystal Clear Atheism” convention.

Please send convention photos that you want to share with us. It would be helpful to have the names of people in the photos, but that is not a requirement.

Please also give AAI permission to print your photos in Secular Nation magazine. Proper credit to people in the photo and the photographer will be given upon request.

Thanks in advance for your assistance and thanks again for attending.
