If you are a photographer you have heard of W.P.P.I which stands for Wedding and Portrait Professionals International, it is an international Photography convention which occurs every year in you know it Las Vegas. In 2008 I had heard about it but it seemed so out of my league and expensive then in 2009 I really wanted to go when I saw some cool photographers like Jasmine Star schedule Shoots and giveaways and I soooooooooooo wanted to go, I was like a puppy wanting a scooby snack, like a preschooler who can not wait to put noggin on, like a teen age girl wanting to go to a Justin Bieber concert, like a parent looking for tickle me elmo for christmas,  and I had the puppy eyes and all. I sucked it up, did not even look at costs or planning and just read what others were doing there and so wanted to be there, I mean it is like Spring Break for photographers. What I love about it is that there is action every where, you run into photographers you really admire, everyone throws cool get togethers and parties and plus there are classes that I would love to attend as well as shoots and fun things likeKevin Kubota treasure hunts. So this year I also though I would not be able to go but then a good friend starting telling our FEO NY group the costs and how it worked and  I thought, I so can do this but  I also was going to MD this month and with kids back to back month trips is just not doable. So long story short, there came the snow, lots of snow and MD got rescheduled and then I said, I am going to Vegas Baby so I was sad the workshop got post poned but consoled that now I would be attending the convention every photographer well almost every photographer would like to be at and if you are one of them staying back at home, Dane Sanders will be doing these live broadcast where he will be interviewing all these cool photographers and having life changing discussions and you should really tune in. Follow Dane on twitter/facebook to know more about that. I got my room with some Fast Track girls, flight is next but I am trying to get a free registration pass so one giveaway is being done on tofurious, check it out,

Lawrence email me: feuzafuse@gmail.com and show me that ticket.

Of course we need some pictures and here is some more snow, alas the reason I am going to Vegas in the first place. Also thanking my mom and husband in advance for helping making this dream possible.

P.S, one of my first ever favorite shots was back in Mr. Murphy’s class at East Brunswick High School. It was a shot I took with film, no digital back then,  and it was of a parking lot with snow and one lonely white dog in middle, I never knew why I liked that image so much but I did and wish I still had it today.
