Just Wait Till Next Year


Next year, I plan on entering every category of the 16x20 competition with at least 5 entries each. Ryan Schembree took first place in the International Print competion in the Wedding category. I guess 2nd place is still pretty good and I am happy with that.

There were over 9000 photographers here over the weekend and this week. Ya'll should have seen the Vegas Strip after the awards ceremony let out. Within about ten minutes about 800 photographers were storming out of Ballys with cameras and tripods photographing all the lights and water shows. Everyone was in every one else's way. Flashes were popping everywhere, it looked like a whole cruise ship full of Japanese tourist had just come into port. Casey took this photo of Erin and I.

There were some new products and a lot of new album companies at the trade show. Nikon was showing off the new D200 and S6 cameras. I liked them so much that I bought one of each.

Man, you should be ashamed of yourself, buying cameras recklessly like that. To make up for it, you need to give one of your cameras and lenses to your nearest neighbor who is a photo enthusiast! ;)
