What is wrong with me?!?!?
Jared and I have been traveling a bit this month. A week after returning from our anniversary cruise we dropped the kids off in Detroit with Jared’s parents and we flew to Vegas. Over 12,000 photographers gathered at the MGM Grand for a photography conference called WPPI. We had a booth at the tradeshow (thus no camera). We did a lot of standing and walking (thus no high heels). We had an amazing time. We met with tons of ProPhoto Blog clients who stopped by our booth to meet Jared. I love working a booth where dozens of people stop in and tell me how much they love my husband. We also met hundreds of photographers who were excited to find a solution for their blogs. It was great.
Vegas surpassed my expectations. Honestly, I until now I’d thought that Vegas was kind of cheesy–in an 80′s sort of way. Like a big, weird, hedonistic Disneyworld. All of those are true, but it is somehow really cool. There are tons of really great serious restaurants inside each hotel/casino. Every restaurant is designed decorated and lit better than any that I can think of in Holland. They make CityVu look out of style. The MGM had lions in it–like a zoo but cooler. You could buy iPhones from a vending machine. We went to Bellagio and saw the dancing fountain, a 2,000 piece Dale Chihuly chandelier, ate Sushi at Yellowtail, and stopped in at Bobby’s room to see if we could gawk (no dice). It was a really fun place. Blues Traveler played a private concert for WPPI. We got to see the show from a decent spot ;-)
On the way home Win played around with my point and shoot. He took a beautiful self portrait and a great shot of Hattie and me.
Please note that all of these images were taken with my point and shoot.
