That’s right folks, yours truly is headed out west for a week! I’ve never been to WPPI before and am soooo excited about going! Not only is WPPI THE wedding photographer convention, it also happens to be falling right before my birthday. My 30th birthday as a matter of fact! I am headed to Vegas on Sunday morning and getting knee deep in learning and networking through Thursday! Come Thursday night though, Kyle flies into town and Operation Keep Kim From Thinking About Turning 30 begins!! With some of my closest buddies also in town (to paint it red) for the weekend with me, I am sure to have the best 30th birthday ever!

Even though I will be away from home for a little over 7 days, I will certainly be reachable via email and cell. Just know it may take me a little bit longer to get back to you than normal. With my iPhone acting as business central and my primary source of contact for the week (plus the fact that I am going to be a busy little bee while I am there)…I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can.

In other news, Kyle and I recently went to see the Black Keys at Terminal 5. It was a great show. Kyle called it “face melting” even. And I would agree! So, you might understand how annoyed I was when I was confronted with this:

Still a great show, and our friend was actually really enjoying himself so I won’t rag on him too bad. But come on dude.
And here’s a shot I grabbed with my trusty Lumix point and shoot…which will be the only camera I bring along with me to Vegas!

One last little bit of news! Chris and Juliette’s wedding was recently featured on the Wedding Cabaret! A great local Brooklyn bridal blog! Thanks for the love!
