WPPI 2008 Images
My fourth time in a roll to the Wedding Portrait Photographers International convention in Las Vegas. I've been going because it keeps me excited about the wedding portrait photography industry. I am challenged by new ideas. The photography industry constantly reinvents itself and I must stay on it's cutting edge.

Day of Remembrance
Whelp, the annual Day of Remembrance event came and went. I wound up designing their advertisement material again. I did it last year too. It first involved designing the postcard. The photo I chose is from the National Archives. I believe it's a photo by Dorothy Lange.The the detail on the old man's image on the left was completely washed out and I had to retouch in the details via photoshop. I used the halftone filter to get the dot
pattern on the image and then colorized the images using layers.Then came the editing of the text which took up the most time. Working with someone who changes her mind often means making a handful of drafts until she thinks she got it right.
They got it printed at PS Print in Oakland. They wanted everything yesterday, so they also paid an overnight rush fee.
That seems to be my niche. Doing things for community causes. The trouble is, there's never a budget to pay commercial rates, so I wind up doing these things for peanuts. Yet when it comes to paying the printer, they don't hustle them for a discount. But it's ok....it's a cause for the community.
After I laid out this design, I also did the flyer and the brochure cover.
Rich Tokeshi said he is willing to do the design next year.
