During January 14-17 I attended Imaging USA. It was excellent! For those of you who are not familiar with Imaging, it is an annual photography conference that offers workshops and an expo for all things photographic. This year it was held in New Orleans. This was my first time visiting New Orleans and I had a great time. I didn’t get to eat as much New Orleans food as I wanted, but what I did have was more than worth the wait….mmmmmm, shrimp and grits in étouffée sauce! If you make it to New Orleans, please go to Mia’s Balcony on St. Charles Avenue. You will not regret it!
We (my good friend and fellow photog Kim, who flew down and met me there) stayed in a small, historical hotel in the Garden District, not too far from the conference center. Every morning we would wake up and walk to the convention center. Talk about getting the blood flowing! The workshops started at 7:00 a.m., so we were up and out early. We also walked to lunch and walked back to the hotel at the end of each day. Boy did we get our exercise in! One night while walking back to the hotel after the convention party, we witnessed an interesting (for lack of a better word) sight. I can’t really go into it since this is a PG post, but I will tell you it was of an adult nature. I’m sure you can come up with an idea of what we saw.
The workshops were fabulous and have given me so many new ideas that have re-energized me. I can’t wait to share my ideas with you in the coming weeks and months. I’ll have special offers and brand new products. If you are signed up for my monthly newsletter or “like” my page on FaceBook, you’ll be receiving some information this week. If you are not, then maybe you should. I’d love to connect with you.
