We get to do a lot of really cool things, but this may be one of the coolest. Every year, about 16,000 photographers descend on Las Vegas for the annual Wedding and Portrait Photographer International (WPPI) convention. And each year, the party gets started with a really awesome kick-off program. This year, it was Photographers Ignite. Fifteen Photographers were selected to speak for five minutes each, and their mission was to enlighten, inspire, and entertain the over 3,000 people staring at the stage. We are so honored to have been included in this year’s line-up, along with: Vanessa Joy and Rob Adams, Joe Photo, Tracy and Dee, Matthew Kemmetmueller, Kirsten Lewis, Jennifer Emery, Cory Henry, Annemie Tonken, Wendy and Byron Roe, Doug Gordon, Skip Cohen, Tamara Lackey, Benjamin Edwards, and Jerry Ghionis. Below is a link to a facsimile of our presentation… we prepared this to help us practice for the main event. But we had so much fun doing it, we thought we might as well share it with our friends too. We hope you enjoy!
