I was fortunate to be able to attend the Imaging USA conference this week right here in Nashville! This is my fourth time to attend this event and it gets bigger and better every year. While the outdoor temperatures were FRIGID during the conference, the information was freely flowing during the sessions and the expo. I learned a lot from the various sessions I attended, especially the Adobe sponsored sessions on Lightroom and Photoshop.
The product expo was once again excellent and it seemed that photographers were opening their wallets to spend some of their hard-earned dollars. I especially enjoy the expo and the mini-sessions that the big exhibitors put on at their booths. I was really impressed with the work of Bill Farkes, Ami Vitale, and the other pro photographers that were showcased at the Nikon booth.
Once again, this show inspired me, but at the same time frustrated me. Inspiration came from a lot of new ideas and techniques that I saw. but frustrated with the fact that experience has taught me that I need to dedicate more time to my photography in order to become proficient with these new approaches and techniques.
Especially entertaining were the presentations by White House photographers J. Scott Applewhite, Paul Morse, and Rober McNeely and American West photographer Scott Bourne.
If you need some inspiration for your photography and great fellowship make plans to attend this conference in January 2011.
