Gaining Perspective, Feeling Crowded & Joy.

Dear Visitor, 

If you've popped by only to find that the blog hasn't been updated in a while, I apologize for boring you and letting you down. I've been busy. But more than busy, I've been thinking. And thinking. I'll be very honest and say that I'm reevaluating myself and my work. January turned out to be a much busier month than anticipated which left very little time to re-new, incubate, and assess 2011's successes and failures and determine the direction for 2012. 

Now, we're already more than a week into February, print orders are flying in, and all I can think about is my first time attending WPPI Vegas. A whole week in Vegas…. with 16,000 photographers!! 

The thing is, I've made so many mistakes over the last twelve months that I have so many ways in which I plan to improve my work and business practices that I can't imagine what returning from WPPI will feel like. The good news is, learning never ends. The bad news is, learning never ends!

My goals in Vegas are to 1. Have a good time, especially with my pal and roomie, Gorete Ferreira. 2. Make at least one new friend 3. Try not to look like a zombie for the dawn shoot out with Justin & Mary on Tuesday, the 21st, and 4. Learn as much as possible about how to improve my business protocols in terms of a. marketing and b. selling. - and that's why I'm taking the two day workshop with Sal Cincotta - Shoot to Sell.  Addendum: I'm also signed up for T&T's Dynomite Art of Directing. I've been aching to take this workshop since I started my biz. Can't wait!!

In the meantime, here's a photo of beautiful Joy, a new model with Exalt Model and Talent Agency.

Wish me luck, because I'm AWFUL when it comes to crowds!!!
