I am back from WPPI in Las Vegas after 7 long days, which is about 3 days too long for Las Vegas. My body is tired from all the parties we went to, but like last year, it was an awesome experience. This year I met even more photographers and made more friends from all over the world. I am so lucky to be able to do what I do and have the experiences I do. There was quite a large contingent of Calgary Photographers in Vegas this year. At last count I think there were at least 20 of us down there that I know of. I love how our community is so tight knit and we all support each other to the fullest. We may be “competitors”, but we are all friends as well.
I learned even more this year about the art of wedding photography and can’t wait to implement all this for all my couples in Calgary, Edmonton and Banff. My 2010 couples are in for a real treat and I can’t wait to see what this year brings. I will be looking out for opportunities to create some amazing images this year, so be prepared brides and grooms!
As most of you faithful blog readers know, I entered 8 images into the WPPI Annual Awards of Excellence print competition. Of the 8 I entered, 2 of them scored an accolade of excellence. A few other scored only 1 or 2 points from being awarded an accolade. The 2 that did score hung in the gallery next to hundreds of some the most inspiring and most incredible images created in 2009, by some of the best photographers in the world. I was more than honored to be there along side them. Without further ado, here are the 2 images that are now award winning images.
Title: Back of the Bus
Title: Escalator
