		<title>Headed To PhotoPro Expo?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As many of you read this I&#8217;m hopefully on a plane pointed toward Cincinnati for PhotoPro Expo which runs through Sunday.  At a time of uncertainty in this industry, especially with workshops and conventions, PhotoPro Expo is headed towards record-breaking attendance and has a sold out trade show floor.  Think about the work it&#8217;s taken to pull this off.
