First Day of Imaging USA

January 10: I was excited to go to day one of Imaging USA, which is not including all the pre-convention classes and workshops. I enjoy going to the convention classes and learning from the pros. The expo is fun in seeing all the vendor booths, the latest photography gear and resources, and the people! Being able to meet the photographers you admire and network with other photographers is a great experience. I was able to take some pictures of some photographers who have inspired and helped me to become better in my craft such as Jerry Ghionis, Gary Fong, and Gene Higa. It's great being part of a photography community to help one another learn and grow, and to keep the passion for photography burning.
