I made the trek to the southwest for my first trip to the Imaging USA Conference in January and I wasn't disappointed. As usual the trade show portion featured some of the newest and coolest equipment and trends in our business. Usually that means some purchases for my business. (See future post on Canon 5D Mark ll)
The real reason I went is for the information and knowledge that can be gleaned from listening to and interacting with established and successful pros in the photography business. From the CEO of PPA, David Trust talking about branding and marketing - to listening to Hanson Fong explain how there is virtually no one he can't pose successfully. I had a chance to listen to pro's Harry Benson, Greg Gorman, Eric Meola, Bob Davis, Denis Regie, Jim Divitale, and Anne Geddes to name a few. It was truly inspiring. I'm looking forward to next years in Nashville, TN.
Of course I also took my photo gear along and drove up route 89 to the Grand Canyon to see the sunrise and do some shooting.
