Imaging USA is back in Texas this year! It's one of the biggest professional photography conventions in the world, perhaps in the country, with over 13,000 people attending (I may have pulled that number out of a hat, but either way it a
whole lot of photographers and the people who support them). It's the first big industry event of the year, comprising a huge trade show, learning programs, exhibits, awards, parties and general happenings focused on the art, science and business of photography. Essentially, it's one humendous and tremongous photography celebration. This year it's right down the road in San Antonio. I'm about to head down there today!
The first time I attended IUSA was in 2006, and what an eye-opener it was. Being there among all the greatness in this industry gave my small business a jolt filled with ideas, how-to's, encouragement and inspiration. Aspiring pros, please do yourself a favor: join
PPA (Professional Photographers of America) and attend Imaging as soon as possible. Next year it's in N'Awlins.....laissez les bon temps rouler!
In the spirit of celebration, I leave you with some parting shots that have stuck with me. They're in no particular order or category, just some favorites of mine.
Enjoy!

Thank you to her aunt and uncle, not only for choosing this image (one of my all-time faves) for their page, but also for supporting animal welfare in Texas!
