Imaging USA is a big event for photographers held in different cities across the USA each year. They have educational seminars and a huge trade show. Very good for inspiration and checking out the quality of new products.
This year it was in New Orleans. I’ve run many possible statements through my mind as I did want to post something about this trip. I can’t tell you how many negative thoughts I’ve expressed and then backspaced to try to keep it positive. I didn’t like New Orleans the first time I visited it. I didn’t change my mind this time. I hope I never have to return. I will refrain from going into any more detail than that. And, yes, that is the “cleaned up” version of the post I really wanted to write. And I do know that many, many people disagree with me. But there it is.
So … on to the positive:
I had GREAT company in fellow photogs Lori Mercer and Suzanne Williams. I am always so honored when they let me tag along with them somewhere.
I got to meet or reconnect with several other local and semi-local photogs.
I was totally inspired by wedding photographer Jerry Ghionis‘s seminar.
And we followed some very kind conventioneers to this tiny little restaurant in the historic warehouse district of the city. The fettuccine alfredo and seeing New Orleans in my rear-view mirror were the highlights of my visit.
