Monday Night on the Strip- Fountain @ the Belagio. I fell in love w/this fountain ( and the 24mm 1.4L to say the least)Total (ish)....yes I'm aware that it's Friday now and I'm back home. But I do still want to update!
I learned very early on that you can plan to go to all the classes you would like to, but if you actually did....you'd come home and you wouldn't just collapse, you might "decompose" (in Kaela's words!)
And a disclaimer: if you ever attend WPPI, make sure you either have childcare the day after you arrive home or a buttload of cartoons you can loop while you "defrag" (another one of Kaela's words).
For those of you who were wondering..(I know some of you were!) here is the shot I was trying to attempt when I ran into Jesh
So Monday night we had dinner with the PSH (photographyschoohouse) crew at Diegos:
(forgive the photo, no flash in the darkest room ever- so 4k iso made it a little messy)
So instead of being responsible and going to bed after dinner (yes that my margarita at the empty chair) I decided to venture out and photograph on the strip...here's a few photos from my 24mm 1.4 L thanks to borrowlenses.com!
(awesome flowers on the ceiling @ the belagio hotel)
(Lee shooting us on his awesome camera....I want to make tshirts for next year that say, "We Shoot Each Other") and OMG wide angle what!??!What do photogs do for fun...? har har har
My fav pic of the trip hands down...I just love the look on Lee's face with (what I can only assume to be "gentlemen escorts") the girls sitting directly behind him.
Maria looking as beautiful as ever...
So yes, Tuesday was a late start. I had the pleasure of attending Dane Sanders workshop Tuesday afternoon and his presentation is nothing I could summarize in less than an hour. Bottom line; don't sell yourself short. Don't oversell yourself (but I'll give you a discount so you can afford me!) and sell your clients on an EXPERIENCE. Make them feel like they are missing something if they don't hire you, because they ARE!
The evening was boudoir....that class was INSANE. I will post a photo on Wednesday(ish) of the classroom....full to the brim. I guess that's what happens when you tell people you're offering live posing demos of girls in lingerie!
And then off to the parties...
More to come, I promise! I do have a few little things I'd be happy to pass along but can't think of anything fun to give them away. If you have a good idea, post a comment and I'll give away something tomorrow!

Do I get a commission or something with all the lingo?? He he:) You're so right...that was my biggest "take away" do not undersell ourselves. We are worth it and are giving our customers an experience... We are not JCPenny/burn on CD photogs-we are professional photographers. Well said, Dee:)
Wow... Was I there? Guess not.
Do I even get mentioned? Sheesh.
