I know that LOTS of people use the internet browser, FIREFOX!! (myself included) I have ALWAYS hated it’s lack of color management, though!! However, with the recent update on Firefox, they included a way to have it be color managed! YAY!! I did the change and I’ve noticed a HUGE difference!! I think it’s soo important because finally our work can be viewed in all it’s true color glory in firefox!! CLICK HERE to read about how to apply COLOR MANAGEMENT to FIREFOX!!!

It’s VEGAS time, DUH!!!! Gosh, this is like the superbowl of wedding photography and I freakin LOVE IT!!! I cannnnot wait!!!

Sooo…..just in case you have been living in a hole (j/k!)… I thought I would let you know that the WORLD’S LARGEST PHOTO CONVENTION is coming up!!! :) HOLLLLA!!!!

WPPI is March 15th-20th in LAS VEGAS BABY!!! It’s one rockin’ time and if you aren’t going, well, you are missing out…so change your plans and get your butt there!!!!
It’s at Bally’s & Paris right in the heart of Vegas and it’s just such an amazing experience! Every photo vendor know to MAN is at the tradeshow and all the hottest people in the industry are speaking! It’s super INSPIRING and I HIGHLY recommend it!!! This is the LAST year for it to be at PARIS & BALLY’S so you must come just because of THAT so you can say “wellll….back in the days when wppi was a paris & bally’s” and then you can sound smart!!!
