Imaging USA Day 1

I survived the first big day at Imaging USA in Tampa, Fla. It was an early start at 6:00 to be in the first class by 7. There were 3 classes before 12, I saw Kalen Henderson, JB and DeEtte Sallee as well as the fabulous Viki & Jed Taufer of V Gallery. One evening class with Yervant was just awe inspiring.
The morning flew by as I attempted to simply retain everything that was thrown at me. Then there was the GIANT tradeshow. Every vendor imaginable was there from Nikon to our pro lab White House Custom Color, who sponsored V Gallery and our album partners, Asukabook, Leather Craftsmen and Collages.net. Lots of stuff to see and do, I walked away with 20 pounds of catalogues, DVD's, flyers and hand outs. All in all it was great, and wrapped up with a swanky party at the Mariott complete with a pirate band. Taking the shuttle back across town to our own suite at the Mariott Residence Inn, I am calling it a night, only to get up and do it again tomorrow!
