2nd International Conference on Time Perspective – Warsaw, Poland, 2014

Last minute invitation, last minute arrangements, but I made it to the 2nd TP conference, which was in Warsaw this time. I was part of the scientific committee, but also the official photographer this time. It was great to see many familiar faces, but it was also great to make new connections. And we were able to touch the book 🙂 it’s coming out soon! more photos
