A panelist gestures emphatically during a symposium session at the 38th Special Operations Association Reunion, Las Vegas, 22 October 2014. The raised, clasped hands are the universal vocabulary of aircrew describing a manoeuvre in flight. The lectern, national flag and draped tables at right mark the formal presentation setup; the partly unclipped table skirt records the everyday reality of a hotel function room in use. The image is dim and soft, having been taken under low ambient light without flash. Project: 219867
