Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is silhouetted by a video presentation during the annual Microsoft shareholders meeting at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, Wash., Tuesday Nov. 15, 2011.

Microsoft held its annual shareholders meeting in Bellevue. Here are some pictures of CEO Steve Ballmer and Chairman Bill Gates. Not sure if the silhouette of Ballmer works, but it was worth a shot. Just trying for something interesting at an otherwise visually dull assignment. There was also a nice moment of Gates laughing during the meeting. At assignment like this in addition to the the stand pictures of a person behind a podium, I try to find nice emotion and something that is visually interesting.
