Imaging USA In Phoenix

I know that it has been a while since we last posted anything … but we’ve been super busy trying to close out and clean up everything from 2008 while trying to get 2009 started! But the great thing about starting the new year is that we get to attend one of the biggest photography expos in the country – Imaging USA.

This year, they held the convention in the warm and beautiful city of Phoenix, AZ. With temperatures in the mid-70′s and clear skies everyday, we couldn’t have had nicer weather for our trip. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to see much of the city as both Loretta and I were busy learning in class and roving around the convention floor everyday from 7AM until 7PM. However, it wasn’t all work and no play … we did get to have a little fun at some of the parties that Canon and some of the other major vendors hosted.

But … the best part of the entire trip was seeing a shot that we took, blown up and displayed at the entrance for the SEPCON (Sports Photography) attendees! As you might remember, we were a cover contest runner-up for an industry magazine a few months ago. Well, they liked our images so much that they posted some in their online photo gallery and blew one up to use on one of their SEPCON pillars during the show …

Here is the original image, taken during an i9 Sports Flag Football game in Newburgh NY this past summer …

Overall, we had a great time, learned a lot and are looking forward to putting things into effect this year, including all kinds of new products that we had a chance to check out!

Here are a couple more shots we took while visiting …
