Trip to Detroit

I had the pleasure of presenting the program "Rocky Mountain High" on my journey as a wedding photographer this past Tuesday in Detroit. It was sponsored by the Detroit Professional Photographers Association. The awesome mother and daughter photography team of Wally and her daughter Julie picked me up at the airport and rolled out the red carpet! After a tour of Detroit, which has changed considerably, and for the better since my last trip there about ten years ago, we had a great meal and conversation at Bahama Breeze. I got a chance to meet some wonderful photographers including John Glass, the DPPA President, and Claude Jodoin, who also happens to be Technical Editor for Rangefinder magazine.

After showing four slideshows, a Powerpoint presentation, and answering numerous questions, I was surprised to see that almost three hours had past! We then took off to Champs for appetizers and beverages. I received some wonderful emails from from attendees, which made me feel really good considering it was my first solo presentation!

Thank you all for your wonderful hospitality! I hope to have another trip to Motown in the future!
