Okay, can’t leave Vegas without getting a few night shots!

First, while we waited for his flight time, Aaron & I strolled through a few of the nearby hotels...low light, a little blur...

First, while we waited for his flight time, Aaron & I strolled through a few of the nearby hotels…low light, a little blur…in the mirror.Hey, we're in New York! Sorta.Ta daaa! Tis I!In the Luxor. Stayed there a couple of years ago, it's a unique place.A very "cool" bar between the Luxor and Mandalay Bay.Time for night shots! After dropping Aaron off at the airport, I went for another stroll, for night shots!In Vegas, even Mickey D's has bling!Paris! Stayed there a couple years ago, Bally's (connected) a couple years before.The dancing fountains at the Bellaggio put on nightly shows.That's one big hog!A little spray paint & matching makeup and you too can become a Vegas performer!This is where I stayed, in the room with the light on.

Los Wages…WPPI

11 02 2009

Soon, I’ll be leaving for the WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) Conference in Las Vegas. Here are a few shots from last time, which was in the Paris/Bally’s complex; this time, it’s at MGM Grand!

Of course, last time I drove out, so there was more opportunity to take scenic views on the way there…

Once you’re there, it’s a whirlwind of seminars and a huge trade show, plus networking opportunities with people you meet from all over the country/world, and a chance to reconnect with those you know but just can’t remember where from. (Nick & I recognized each other, but never did figure out where we worked together.)

 

 

 

Of course, the scenery in the hotels is pretty attractive as well. Not that I wasn’t taking photos for purely professional purposes, of course!

This was the third time I’ve been to the Grand Canyon. What a view, hmm? I’ve still never seen it - the first two times were at night!
This time I’m flying. Maybe I’ll fly over it and see it!
