So i arrived at the phoenix-skyharbor airport this afternoon around 1:30 for my 3:55 flight. I check in, get my bag checked, pick up a burger from Burger King and then proceed to secueity whixh had an obnoxiously long (35 minutes) line and eventually find my gate.
Cindie calls and informa me that a USAir plane had just gone down in the Hudson river. Just what i wanted to hear!
I’m not normally skittish at all about flying, but today its just a smidge unnerving. Not that I expect any prpblems, but its always in the back of your mind when something like that happens!

Practically anyone who knows me knows my passion for photography, and my love of photographing people and weddigs in particular.
As I am starting my own business, I decided to go to the Digital Wedding Forum convention 2009. I made my reservations back in April or may and have been active on the forums for a while but still I was a bit nervous. The boards aren’t always kind to either part timers or newbies to the business.
This trip was so totally worth it, I got to meet a lot of new and great people from all over the world - the us, Canada, England, Germany and a bunch more places. The seminars were great, focusing on both the shooting an business aspects. Hearing how very successful photogs carry out their business is invaluable.
The amazing thing is that you can put two extremely successful photogs next to each other and they will completely disagree with each other on half of everything, but just knowing that is worth it’s weight in gold.
Anyways I look forward to a busy and hopefully profitable 2009.
