Starting with other PPA affiliate leaders
I arrived at the hotel Friday evening so that I could attend the Saturday PPA Affiliate Leaders Meeting, led by Bryan Welsh. This was a great beginning to the conference. There were approximately 50 affiliate leaders from all parts of the country and an agenda designed to help unify the various groups and share ideas and best practices with others.
Program sessions at Imaging USA
With a lineup of many great programs from Sunday through Tuesday, I filled out a schedule in the Imaging USA phone app with sessions that I planned to attend.
Exploring the Imaging USA expo
Sunday afternoon was dedicated to a wonderful Imaging USA expo. There was a good variety of booths featuring products, services and demonstrations. While I did not purchase any new gear, I did add several items to my “wish list” and hope to add them to my inventory at some point.
Workshops and courses at Imaging USA
Monday morning began by attending the program by Kristina Sherk on portrait retouching in Lightroom and Photoshop. Kristina did a wonderful job of presenting the new masking features within Lightroom and shared the techniques she uses for portrait retouching in Photoshop.
PPA Award & Degree Ceremony
The award and degree ceremony was an event that I was really looking forward to. Many of our very talented members of PPC and PPGCS were scheduled to receive their hard-earned degrees and many had reached the finals for various categories of Grand Imaging Awards.
Tour of Washington, D.C
Early Tuesday morning I had to decide whether to attend the few presentations I had intended to or to join a few other Colorado photographers to tour the monuments and nearby attractions. As it had been over 30 years since I had visited this area, I decided to join friends on the tour.
