Idaho Photo Convention

As a photographer I spend way too much time in front of the computer when in reality I got in to this business so I could be behind the camera. Once or twice a year I get to have smart and experienced people tell me that my long bouts of computer junking are alright and that I'm actually suppose to make money at this. Don't get me wrong, I truely enjoy the computer work, I just need a really good assistant to do the crappy stuff like download cards and get the images to the internet. Anyway..back to the subject..once or twice a year is Photo Convention. There are more that we can go to but I try and keep it to a minimum. I mean shesh I actually do have to work sometime. How else will I get those great portraits of families in black shirts in rural settings? Photo Convention is hit and miss sometimes on the ah ha moments. Some times i get them and sometimes I don't. This year the Idaho association really hit it right on the head. Great convention. I actually learned something. Cool huh? Have I mentioned Print Competition? I haven't entered because I'm a loser but stay tuned fine friends. Next year is my year. RAH! Congratulations to my best friend ever Robin for her Outstanding award and merit print for "group" and also my other great friend Bill Burns for first place in "Portrait Woman" and judges choice. Mostly for them it was just entering for the first time ever in competition. Congratulations are also in order to Bevan Whitear, Steve Mackley, Todd Hicken and Dennis Hammon, they win awards every year and should start measuring their awards in inches and feet instead of actual plaques because they do so well, but are outstanding photographers and really deserve it. So, if you have been feeling neglected you know where i've been. Listening to positive people, eating out, and hanging out with great friends. Well, back to reality...
