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 …

Busy … Busy … Busy … That’s about the only way that I can describe the last month or so! Things have kept us going so much so that we haven’t even had a chance to update the blog!
Soccer, Baseball, Lacrosse, School and all of our other Spring events have all come to an end … which means we now have a chance to breath a little and look at what we’ve accomplished! It also gives us a chance to work on our creative ‘eye’ while getting things ready for the fall season!
As we look back over the last few months, we’ve covered numerous Minisink Valley Lacrosse and Baseball games, attended two of the area’s largest Irish Dance Feis Events, photographed Youth Soccer Players, attended Prom as a couple’s personal paparazzi, continued with our Senior Portrait Sessions and captured loving moments between couples during their Engagement Photo Session. Needless to say, we have a lot of photos ready to be blogged about!
Looking over the calendar for the next few months has a much lighter schedule for us, but plenty of exciting work we cannot wait to get to! The 2008 Eldred High School Graduation, an annual Puerto Rican Pig Roast, summer sports portraits for i9 Sports, numerous Weddings and some additional Senior and Family Portrait sessions!
Next month, we’ll also launch our new Wanamaker Photography VIP program … so details will soon follow!
Overall, it will be nice to have a bit of a breather where we can recharge our own batteries, enjoy what is shaping up to be a beautiful summer and start getting our gears into motion for the fall. Be sure to come back and check out our blog and website often as we’ll be updating it a lot with many of the incredible images we’ve captured over the last few months!
