A City of Lights!
And 10,000 Photographers!
Photography ~ February 17, 2009
WPPI 2009
I still can’t believe I’m in Vegas! All I have to do to be reminded is look out the window and see the glow of the city lights that literally illuminate the ENTIRE city! It’s been a great trip so far. Jessie and I have learned so much… almost too much! We have sat through sessions and listened to some of the world’s top photographers share their tips and tricks! It’s incredible! I think I have enough brochures and pamphlets to keep me busy reading for a year! The trade show is compiled of two gigantic convention halls filled with incredible vendors. Canon is EVERYWHERE and sponsoring everything! (totally dominating Nikon:).

There’s still so much to see! Tonight we are heading to a seminar led by Tamara Lackey, a fellow east coast girl who has an incredible portfolio! Tomorrow we’ll get to hear from the amazingly talented Jessica Claire! So excited! Here are some pics from downtown!!
Our humble abode.

I think the extent of our relationship was being on the same cheerleading squad! :) but I noticed you posting links to your blog awhile ago on facebook, and I'm sorry it took so long for me to take time out to look at it! Your pictures are AMAZING. Not only are you a wonderful photographer, but you portray what's going on with your words so well, too. This may seem strange to you, and I'm sorry, but i was taken aback with some of your pictures and I had to let you know! Keep it up, seriously. Magnificent stuff!!!!! I definitely plan on visiting again!
