I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather we&#8217;re having&#8230;I guess since I&#8217;m talking about weather I must have nothing to talk about right? Wrong! I&#8217;ve been at WPPI all this week having a great time with thousands of other photographers in seminars and trade shows. It&#8217;s over for me now but I had a lot of fun. I got to listen to one of my favorite portrait photographers speak this morning (William McIntosh from Virginia). I really enjoyed that.<\/p>\n<p>My absolute favorite WPPI moment this week was on Monday morning when I was in a seminar and they were showing a slideshow of wedding albums. The slide appeared on the screens and it was a nice portrait of a bride getting ready. It was beautiful, no doubt, but nothing out of the ordinary. In a crowd of 1200 people only ONE voice could be heard at that moment the slide came up and it was directly behind me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;WOW!&#8221; he boldly proclaimed while realizing he was the only person in the room of 1200 with the artistic vision to see it&#8217;s amazing, one of a kind qualities. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I bet he felt like he wanted all of the MGM to come crashing down on him so he couldn&#8217;t be seen, kind of like how you did back in junior high school when it was 30 minutes into the class and the teacher said your name, &#8220;Nathan&#8230;&#8221;and you replied, &#8220;HERE!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I had a great time at the convention and hope you&#8217;re all having a great week. Now if you&#8217;ll excuse me,\u00a0 I have to get back to my retouching.
