I’m so excited, I leave in about 5 1/2 hours for Phoenix to attend the Imaging USA Expo by the Professional Photographers of America. It is three days of jam packed mini workshops and I’m signed up for 16 different ones right now! I’m throwing the last of my stuff together now and since my new business cards didn’t show up in time I’m running some off on my printer right now. Being that this is my first trip to AZ I’m of course taking my camera and will try to get out and get some pics to share with you guys when I get back. I’m also hoping to meet a lot of new photographers on this trip. I’m rooming with a photographer from Canada who has been in business for awhile so I hope she doesn’t mind me picking her brain while we room together 🙂
