APPA Convention

http://arkansasmatters.com/content/fulltext/?cid=238322 check it out on the news! My good friend Amy Bell was interviewed!

I spent Sunday-Wednesday afternoon at the APPA (Arkansas Professional Photographers Association) Convention in Little Rock. It was awesome!! There were so many good speakers and one of them was THE wedding photographer for the stars. Dennis Reggie, he photographed JFK Jr's wedding, Maria and Arnold- just to name a few. He had to fly out early the next day because he was photographing the Today Show couple that got married on Wednesday morning. His weddings STARTED at $28,000....he said several times started....Of course his equipment did cost more than my house! So we have to keep it all in perspective. Anyway, he was really good and he showed photos and how he got the lighting he used. I heard from other well known photographers on technical issues light the best way to use outdoor/indoor/studio lighting, lenses, composition, print competition and other info. I'm so fortunate to be a part of an association where the members genuinely share information that has helped them become successful. It was so informative and I'm definately a better photographer for attending.
