365 Project - Day 260 - Practice...Practice

Day 260




To keep the Japanese skills up to par, I will occasionally read kids books or newspapers in Japanese. I tried to read this one to Sara, in Japanese, but she prefers the English translation. The book is called Omusubi Kororin, there is a rough translation on the link.

Enjoy.

365 Project - Day 255 - Skip's Summer School

Day 255




Skip's Summer School 2009
was amazing, and now that I have experienced WPPI, I can say it was like having a more intimate WPPI tradeshow at the end of summer. Summer School was an absolutely great way to re-energize and get inspired for the remainder of the year, plus go away with a plan for the next year. Beyond what you learn from the great speakers, because of the size of the conference, you can really network with some great photographers from all over the world. Not to mention getting more face time with your vendors and meeting new ones.

If you are still on the fence about going, I would suggest making the jump. Skip's Summer School 2010 is well worth the investment with the lineup of speakers, lighting lab, vendors that will be onsite, and of course for the fact it's in Vegas! This years topic is diversity and this is the best time to learn the balance between not being a "one trick pony" or "taking any job that comes your way".

Jump over to Skip's Photo Network to check out some his post on Skip's Summer School 2010 as well as Profiles on some of the speakers. If your not following/RSS his blog, you are missing out on a wealth of knowledge, valuable business tips, and fun stories about Verizon's lack of customer service [and what we can learn from them].

Enjoy.
