January is usually a really depressing month. Normally we run nonstop in November and December and then when the slow month of January hits we twiddle our thumbs. Well most professional associations figured this out so they started scheduling conventions and schools in January and February. Funny thing happened this January, we have been busy with appointments and conventions. As a result of this it is almost February already!
So now I want to let you in on a little special. Valentines day is right around the corner and what better gift than a portrait for that someone special? Call Chance if you are interested in doing something and she can give you a really special price if you mention you saw this.
Moving on to the Road Trips part of this. Road trip number one is in the books now with road trip number two right around the corner. This past weekend I headed out for New Orleans with some of my photographer friends to the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) convention. We met up with a lot of our friends from across the country for classes, a huge trade show and parties up and down Bourbon Street. Oops! I forgot about the food! We had some amazing food! After all of that we each came back with a lot of fresh new ideas and some new equipment to start breaking in over the next few months. We will be looking for some models for a few special things we want to try so stay tuned to find out what we will be needing.
The following images were taken in New Orleans. The iPhone camera is all I had for this trip because I traveled light for this one. And in New Orleans you need to be able to run if you have to.
We came in from the North this year, longest bridge I have ever seen! Over 23 miles of this.
