Wednesday - WPPI has ended, now we have 24 hours to vacation :)

Well, things came to a wind down today, we managed to swing back around to the trade show and grab a few last minute deals, Good news Tanya, that 50mm 1.8 is yours to use with the 20D now, LOL Im also adding the sweet 16-85mm wide-angle puppy to your arsenal as we bought a 100mm 2.8 macro and a 28mm 1.8 too today. Lots of new glass and a really cool lighting surprise for you all when we get home too! Flash is quickly going to become an F word in our studio and it will be unacceptable :)

After the trade show closed and there was no money left to spend, we headed out into the cold and visited the Bellagio and Caesars Palace to take some more photos, Nothing too fun but mostly just playing around! I also forgot that when we got seated on our first airplane in Calgary last friday, I discovered a little stow-away in my down vest pocket! One of my favorite little giraffes had snuck into my pocket because he wanted to tag along for the trip, so since I had him with me I figured we might as well make him some souvenir photos that he could take home to his giraffe buddies!

Here he is on the moving sidewalk outside the Bally's Hotel and Casino

And here he is at the Bellagio, waiting in the COLD for the water show to begin, only to find out that the 4:00 show was cancelled due to the wind!


At Caesars there is a TON of cool things to photograph, but the 15ft tall nude male statue was by far the one that caught my eye ;) What can I say? I appreciate art!
We headed into FAO Schwartz and looked at all the cool toys and James snapped this photo of me with a HUGE elephant that was blocking up the broken escalator.
Tomorrow will be a photo day for us, we hope it is a bit nicer so we can possibly get at least a LITTLE tan before coming home to the snow that we have been warned about :) Hopefully we can do it all again next year! And if our staff is lucky, they can come along and join us!

Till tomorrow....

Hope
