Joe and Robert

Sitting in the Joe Buissink and Robert Cavalli talk.

In love with Matthew Jordan Smith

"The sky's the limit and she shoots for the sky." - Matthew Jordan Smith on Annie Leibovitz

Just got done with the smith talk. Incredable. he is now one of my new favorite photographers. Very inspirational.

Matthew Jordan Smith

I'm attending the Matthew Jordan Smith class right now. I hope it's good.

Walkway signs

it takes me about half an hour to walk to WPPI from my hotel room. along the corridor to the conference area there are signs that help to remind you how long the walk is. the folliwng is a selection of my favorite signs.

Studio cafe

Check out this French dip randy is having. Do you have food envy? I do.

She keeps eating

Michelle loves the food. She's taking some to go. Lawrence wants some too I think.

Two fortunes

One cookie, two fortunes:

"you will soon be receiving some good written news."

"someone is watching you from afar."

Not sure if the second one is good or not.

Eating at buffet @ Asia!

Dumb luck

just checked into WPPI and ran into lawrence and michelle. a few minutes after the picture was taken i ran into manuel, yet another photo department buddy. man, my timing is good. i almost wanted to stand around the front a little longer and see who else i ran into.

kalen, you're missing it!

i miss you all back home! i'm having a great time though. see you all soon.

Free drinks

We just checked into the Excalibur and got two free drink coupons so we decided to hit the bar right away.

The very nice lady at the front desk said that smoking rooms will soon be a thing of the past. So sad. Oh well, it'll just make me smoke less. Vegas will not be the same. Smoking indoors is part of the experience.

That's what she said

I found the perfect app for Craig and Krista on my iPhone. It does nothing more than say, "that's what she said."

Thank goodness it's free.

He does it too

It's valentine's day. It's Saturday night. We are in vegas. Guess what we are both doing. Yup. Drinking beer and playing with our iPhones in our hotel room.

No hangers

apparently enough people hang hangers from the fire sprinkler in our hotel bathroom it requires a sticker.

Krung Thai

Having valentines dinner with randy at my favorite Thai Restraunt in las vegas.

Not sure if the guy that sings here is the owner or not, but he's here singing everytime we come in. Great voice! It's love songs all night tonight for valentines day. There are still a few tables open if you want to bring your sweetheart here.

Dollar beer and hot dog

Dollar beer and hot dog! he'll yeah!

Pit Stop

a little pit stop at primm valley to potty.

More snow!

There is even more snow up in them thar hills!

Snow!

There is snow up here!

Baker

we just passed baker. it was 58 degrees.

i miss my friend heather when i pass this (her last name is baker and she always used to drive to vegas with us).

On the road again

so i'm trying a new thing right now, blogging via email from my iphone. hope it works well.

anyway, i'm on my way to las vegas with randy to attend WPPI. i was hoping greg and yvette would be there, but they are both busy doing other things. at least kalen will be there. i'll probably meet up with him for lots of beer later.

my brother and sister will also be in las vegas this weekend. i don't think i'll run into them. vegas is a big place and i doubt either are into attending photo conferences. if you are going to WPPI too give me a call and we'll meet for drinks.
