It has been at least a week since I returned from the WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) convention in Las Vegas. It took this long for my head to stop spinning from all the great information, albums and ideas that I came back with. As you know, I participate in this enormous affair every year in order to offer the best for my customers. My main agenda this year was to choose a new line of albums that will me mind boggling. And guess what? In May 2009, I will start carrying the most unique line of albums ever created. It’s a must-see album that stands out as a work of art! I also had a chance to pick up my new incredible camera (Canon 5D mark II) that was so hard to find since it is the hottest camera on the market these days. Let me tell you, it is worth its weight in gold! But the most important thing that I returned back with was all the fresh ideas and inspiration that will make this year very exciting. Here are some images from my 5 day annual pilgrimage. Special thanks to Moshe Zusman for some of the images and for letting me pick on him for almost a week.

Last night’s get together with more then 20 local wedding photographers was so much fun. We met at Gordon Biersch in Tyson’s corner VA for some drinks, food and talk. It is always good to see what each photographer is in to and getting some feedback. After spending a few hours together, we all (well, almost all) agreed that we will meet at the coming WPPI convention in Las Vegas. I can’t wait for our next get together.








It was great meeting with some of the most talented photographers in the DC area. Armin DeFiesta, Julia MacInnis, Peter Bang, Noah Hayes, Shane Melenbacker, Moshe Zusman and I met for some drinks, food and ideas at the Carlyle Cafe in Shirlington VA. This is the most passionate group of professional photographers in the Washington metropolitan area.
Too bad I had to leave a little early, but my 4 month old daughter was not feeling so well (she fell down the stairs) but she is back to her self now. I am looking forward to getting tougher with these guys again soon. Keep on clicking, Hadar.
P.S. all the images in this post were taken by Moshe Zusman.
