I am currently in Las Vegas, NV for WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International). Today was the first day of the convention. I didn't take any pictures inside the actual convention... because how nerdy would that be? lol.

The first speaker of the night was http://danesanders.com/">Dane Sanders, who was ahhh-mazing. To be honest... before WPPI I had never heard of him... so I didn't really expect much. I was seriously blow away by his incredible articulation. A big thing that stuck out to me was "If you could invent your life, how would it look?" After his speech, I was inspired to move. To change. and most importantly, create.

The second speaker of the night was http://www.jerryghionis.com/">Jerry Ghionis. To me, Jerry Ghionis embodies the word artist. This man creates passionately and truly believes in the power of photography. Somethings that was inphasized throughout his speech was the concept of constantly pushing yourself to work harder, to constantly stretch creatively, and how much photography truly is an invaluable art. "You don't have to be the best. You just have to be better than last week". -Jerry Ghionis.
