Home Again!

Last Friday night was Business of the Year Awards. I really enjoyed photographing the winners!
Thank you to Jonathan from Traptow for lending me one of your lights. It was so kind of you...it's almost enough to make me forget 'The Cheezie Incident" from Monday night at the convention.
Almost.
The World of Women show was a great way to spend the weekend. I met lots of new people.

PPOC Alberta held another great convention, this time in Lethbridge. Fun night always has a theme, and this year it was Pirates. I love Pirates!!!
Our speakers were excellent. We heard about creativity, weddings, cool ways to light & compose groups, photoshop work, commercial work, albums....I sound like a geek...but it was all very COOL! Speaking of cool, this is our new name & logo on my plate - it just doesn't get any geekier than running to the hotel room before eating your second course just to photograph the ICE block it's served in.....but I really liked it.
...I was also not the only one to photograph dessert...but I was probably the only one standing on my chair to do it.
The best part, aside from Pirates, food, no sleep and too much coffee, is spending time with the other photographers. There is so much to learn, usually just by sitting there listening to everyone else, or viewing the amazing work that did well enough in print competition to be accepted for display. I am just so grateful to be able to do this for a living.

While I was gone, Cara Liddel took FANTASTIC care of my Business After Hours table at the Millenium Centre. She does a better job than I do. THANK You, Cara!!

This weekend is the Central Alberta Mountain Club Turkey Trek out at Shunda Creek Hostel. It's my last TT as Programs Chair, meaning, I don't do the Kitchen Coordinating for the next one! The theme is, of course, Pirates!!!! (any guesses who helped pick that one?)
