WPPI Trade Show in Las Vegas March 26-29th, 2007

Hey Everyone! Mish and I are off to Vegas for 4 days to soak up as much learning and inspiration as we can. We always try to push ourselves harder to be the best, and a big part of that is constantly learning and setting new goals. I started attending WPPI in Vegas 2 years ago...this will be my third time. The first time I went, it opened my eyes to what is possible in Wedding Photography. I saw some things that Yervant, Marcus Bell and Dennis Reggie were doing, and it opened up a whole new world. That new world has become the reality that I can do what I want, and not have to follow traditions. I can use my eye, and my creativity, and I don't just have to get the traditional photos. I can be an artist. For me, it truly was and is a great inspiration. This trip I look forward to hanging out with Gene Higa & Anne Hamilton, who are very popular destination photographers. They will be speaking at the show as well. Alisha & Brook Todd will also be there, they'll be speaking also and we'll be having some fun with them.. They just got rated by American Photo Magazine to be one of the top 10 wedding photographers in the world...did I mention that I know them? Also, we will be hanging out with Steve Kurtz of Kurtz Photographics. He is a really great photographer, and a rep for Bay Photo Lab. Steve photographed our wedding, and is a good friend. Bay will be displaying some of our prints at their booth, which is going to be huge this year. I hope to hook up with Graphistudio, Zookbinders, and Pictage, I think I would like to try speaking in the next couple years....we'll see. Anyway, see you all when we get back! - JK
