Any photographers who are going to be participating in the fun at WPPI this year should have the Airhorns and Lasers party on the "must" list. Chris and I have been asked to help put this shin dig on with many of our dear friends. It's going to be a killer time filled with many surprises!

If there is any advice I can give any WPPI first-timers it would be to get out there, don't be shy, go up and introduce yourself to people. Also, stay up too late talking, let your hair down, forget about work for a few days and just enjoy mingling and meeting new people and friends. We met some of our (now) closest photography friends at WPPI last year. Most of which we had been talking to via the internet, i chat etc. but people we had never actually met in person. 

Unlike most jobs, as photographers, we typically don't go into an office full of "co-workers" that we interact with on a daily basis. That is why social media is used so heavily in this industry. It is a way all of us can connect to other creatives from our isolated little offices. As great as social media is, there is nothing better than seeing someone face to face, grabbing a drink and spending time in person. It is so totally refreshing, and this is why we love WPPI every year. 

So come on out to the most killer party at WPPI, Airhorns & Lasers, and lets dance our faces off.
