This week I was playing with few of the new actions from Kubota Actions that I bought in Vegas (WPPI - 2008).
I wanted to go over few older pictures that I did and check how the actions could improove the quality of my work.
From now on, you might see more and more of my work integrated with these actions.
Give a look and tell me what you think.
Ok… Let’s talk about Photography.
As you might know, this week happened in Las Vegas the greatest show for Professional Photographers in the whole world (WPPI). With over 100 programs and workshops and more than 330 exhibitors, I have to say that I was totally impressed with the WPPI organization.
I have to tell you,… It was the best!
There were so many new technology and so many new and inspired talented Photographers that it was really hard to keep with all the new information.
For me, one of my best experiences was the Pictage booth. I not just saw their latest products for 2008 but I also had the chance to exchange ideas with few of the best Photographers of our generation.
Sara and Dane are the Coolest Photographers ever!!! 
I came back from WPPI with so many new ideas and totally charged for 2008.
My brides will certainly see an improvement of my work and they can be sure that they got one of the best Photographers that South Florida has to offer.
WPPI 2009… I will be there!!!

As I mentioned on my last post, I just came back from a convention in Las Vegas ( WPPI ). It was the best convention ever… But I will talk more about that on my next post. OK?
Today I want to finish the Post that I started last week about Spirit Airlines.
I was really mad after Spirit Airlines Charged me $20.00 per bag. I was so mad that I wrote that other post and I started taking pictures of people sited on the floor eating their home made sandwiches, or the huge line of people trying to buy some water before catch their flight. I want to show how the quality of flying have been deteriorating these last few years.
When they started calling to board the Airplane, I just had one thought on my mind: “great now I am going to Fly for 6 hours and the only thing that they are going to offer to us are some snack and a glass of coke”.
Now… I feel even embarrassed to tell what happened next. Do you know that they are not offering the snack or coke anymore? Not even water? I had to buy my water inside the airplane so I didn’t get dehydrated.
What happens next? Will we have to pay to use the restroom? How about pay a little extra to turn on the air-conditioning?
Anyway… I normally don’t like to use my posts to complain about these kind of things, but I just felt abused. I can not remember any other event of my life that I have felted so violated and powerless. The sensation that I had, was that I had been hold “LIKE” a hostage and I still had to pay to drink that glass of water.
If I learned a lesson from this experience is “…”
Sorry… I don’t think that there was a lesson to be learned here. I just wish that the authorities that are responsible for Airlines regulations would stop this kind of abuse.
Sincerely… Paulo
It is finally here. The WPPI, Las Vegas - USA
For who doesn’t know about WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International), this is it… the one… the best… the biggest… ETC!!!
No matter what I say about this convention, it would still be much and much MORE!!!
I am getting on a 5 hours flight From Fort Lauderdale (Florida) to Las Vegas (Nevada) for 5 days of the best of what the Wedding Photography Industry has to offer. I will be there exchanging experiences with the best Wedding Photographers in the world.
But the fact is, I am one of the very few Professionals from South Florida that will be going to WPPI 2008.
Now…, Here is a question to you (BRIDE) sleep on it!!!
You already know that WPPI is the place where the best Wedding Photographers will be meeting this next week. The question is… Why would you hire or invest your $$$$$ in a Photographer that didn’t come?
A good Photographer doesn’t just affiliate… A good Photographer has to be part of it.
I will try to write some few posts from there. OK?
