Happy 4th Birthday!!!

My boy is officially a big boy! I made it home just in time from WPPI, to light the candles on Charlie's bday cake. Vegas was fun, but I would not miss this for the world. Mandy did a great job getting all the decorations and food. She baked a Jupiter cake, with moons and all for the celebration! Gotta love the creative effort! Charlie was excited to eat a planet, and I was so excited to be home!

Vegas Baby!!!!

My first time attending WPPI was one to remember!! Sleep is for the weak in Sin City where

11,000 photographers gathered for a week of learning, networking, and of course parties! I found new products to offer, made new friends, and reunited with old ones. Though, there just wasn't enough time to see all the fantastic photographers that I had planned on. Maybe next year I will stay the whole week. Either way, much was discovered and I look forward to strengthening the connections that were made! I did get a chance to poke around Vegas with my Kodak. Here is what I found.

Hangin' with Corey McNabb, David Burke, and Tom Flint!

On the flight home was my first sight of the Rocky mountains...I gotta get back!!!

All the best!

Rochester Warmin' Up!!!

The weather is warming up!! Today, I had a the chance to walk around my fine city, without the worry of frostbite! The upper East Ave neighborhood, where all the hip Eastman School of Music students hang out, was my personal art space. It was great to get some quality time in the ROC before I head to Las Vegas for WPPI.

All the best!

Cheer up!!!

Today I am home sick:(
I have had this nasty cold for almost a week, and still no end in sight. So today I will not be working. Just some quality rest and some warm soup for me. I needed a cheer up. This video of Charlie at Highland Park, only a few weeks ago, did the trick!

The Wedding Event!!!

Rochester's Inn on Broadway hosted the most fabulous wedding show last Sunday! Kelli Berg, owner of Simply Beautiful Events organized the How 2 Before "I Do" seminar. This event was high-end and stunning! All the vendors were the best of the best and I cannot thank Kelli Berg and Gary Ventura enough for including me in this amazing show!
