Hey Everyone!

Its been an amazing experience this past week in Vegas at WPPI (Wedding Portrait Photographers International). I am exhausted physically, mentally, and spiritually (we’ll get to that in the next post, but its all good things friends). I am definitely ready to come back home. I cannot wait to hold Grit in my arms, and sing to her pregnant belly. (hee hee)

The week of infinitely long walks through smokey casinos, and cramming as much into your brain from the plethora of classes and tradeshow booths is enough to wear anybody down. The funny thing is: as exhausted as I am, I am so excited and inspired to get working on what I have learned and experienced that I could probably run home from Vegas to Vancouver.

For the moment I leave you with this image of the view from my 27th floor room at MGM Grand (for the record New York, New York shown in the image is by far my favorite looking hotel). The technique used on this image was HDR (High Dynamic Range Imaging) which involves the combination of various images shot at different exposures. I have never really liked the look of this form of imagery, but today I did what I loved to do. I explored. I played and did something different (for me). Please enjoy.

Until next time my friends,

Michael
