Back from WPPI last week brought to a close what I refer to as my 2012 Trade Show Season. It started with PMA @ CES then IUSA in New Orleans, PhotoPro Expo in Covington, KY and back to Las Vegas for GoingPro Bootcamp and WPPI.  For many of you there’s still another round or two with [...]

Sunday we head to Las Vegas for DIMA, PMA and CES – three major events all in one city, which is one of the best things PMA has ever done. Virtually every major vendor in imaging and electronics will be in attendance…All in one city at the same time, saving us time and the expense [...]

So many of you are about to hit any one of several major trade shows and conventions and you’ve got a choice to make. You can fly around the show at random, unorganized and trying to see everything you can, or focus on what you need the most and make it a quality experience.
For me, [...]

If you’re headed to PMA or CES in a couple of weeks pay attention to two interesting programs.
How about a Las Vegas Photo Adventurewith professional photographer, Mark Comon as your tour guide? It all starts on Friday evening with a “how to” presentation and dinner is included. Then you’ll head into a night time shooting session [...]

This is an amazing industry and so much of every one’s success is based on networking.  Well, meet a relatively new friend who’s friendship just keeps growing all the time, Levi Sim.  I “met” Levi through PWSPI when it first started. Sadly, PWSPI didn’t survive in the current economy, but the friendship with Levi did.  He [...]

Good buddy, David Ziser, has been kind enough to share a few of his best posts with us and this one, like all of his posts, is another top-shelf presentation.  It might be from last year, but that doesn’t make the topic any less relevant.
As a combination of the tough economy and advances in [...]

We just got back from Empower Your Vision, an outstanding Album Epoca event in Riccione, Italy.  While the trip was way too short, it still managed to leave me with an incredible appreciation for our industry and the universal language of photography.  Three of the photographers speaking at the event were Flavio Bandiera, David Beckstead [...]

There’s so much going on in our industry right now. It’s tough to keep track of it all. So, here are a few things requiring you to circle the dates!
 

Today on Twitter is the last day to follow @kubotatools and @skipcohen and get yourself in the running for one of the first copies of Kevin Kubota’s [...]

Yesterday I suggested you put Photoshop World on your calendar for 2012. Well, here’s one more and it’s going to be absolutely amazing, especially if you’ve never been to CES or PMA. It’s PMA@CES, January 10-13!
This is a rare opportunity for professional photographers to attend the largest trade show in our industry thanks to the combined forces [...]

I’m going to stray off the usual format path this morning with a couple of great links and even a moment of wisdom thanks to good buddy, Nick Vedros. In fact, let’s start with Nick who sent me the following last night:
From the Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity:
Man.. Because he sacrifices [...]
