About a week ago, Ruth and I returned from a business vacation in Las Vegas for the WPPI conference. (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International)

It was our first time in the State of Nevada and Ruth's first time in Arizona. The intake of knowledge, networking, print competitions and seminars lasted for 7 days. Seminars started at 8:00 A.M. and lasted as late as 11:00 P.M., there was some downtime in between but, it was mostly filled with trade show visits. Because it was photography 24/7 it never seemed like work. We were never tired, bored or craved to relax. It was incredibly fulfilling.

The Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon were incredible. 40 gigs of digital photos were captured!
