Every year, I return from my Vegas photo-trip a slightly changed photo-dork. This year lived up to those expectations, and then some. Just when I thought I could get no dorkier about photo...Vegas got me. I had the biggest privilege of being a part of two huge projects while in town this time-the Vegas Wedding Project, and the Neon Graveyard Photo shoot.
To make things even better for my whole Vegas immersion, I made it a point to try and meet as many of my photo heroes as possible. I hugged several of them! I explosive fist bumped one! I told many of them how big of a deal they were to me. And one of my super-heroes is even my "new best friend"! ;) Meet the amazing Mr. Jose Villa. I'll be joining him (and the super-duper inspiring Jesh de Rox), for a bit o exploration in Santa Fe, New Mexico in about 3 weeks. I am pinching myself at the opportunity. I think I'll have no choice at that point but to be absolutely amazing, or fear offending the phenomenal people whose company I'll be in. I'll be sure to post lots of goodness on here from that journey. And to make things the best they could possibly be-I'll be swinging by the Dallas, TX area on my way to Santa Fe, to do a really cool engagement session with my friends Kama and Chris. They're getting married this October. Yay!
Digressing! Other highlights from Vegas were getting inspiration for promoting myself, my interest in destination weddings and photo sessions, embracing my inner dork (thanks to Tanja Lippert), having amazing food, catching up on fine dining at the Vegas Buffets, and...this thingy:
This thing became my mild obsession while staying at the MGM Grand Hotel...in the restaurant area was this little interactive floor pad with three different themes. You could jump on it, or even just sweep your feet over the surface, and the stuff would scatter or change. Tooooo much fun! Jay took this pic of my on the last day, as I wanted to forever immortalize my love for this "fun floor". My favorite theme was the one featured here-bubbles that would scatter and fly all about when you moved near them. You have to trust me here...if you'd been there, you would have been mildly obsessed, too!
Now that I've given you the rundown, I'll post some images from the amazing projects I had the honor of sharing in. Counting down the days 'til the March 2010 conference!
