To continue to catch up on my blog posts because I was so busy.... From March 28th thru April 2nd, I was at the http://2010.palmspringsphotofestival.com/ which is described as "an intense week-long event" "intended to inspire, educate and instill or reignite passion for the art and commerce of photography" " the opportunity to MEET top photographers, curators, art directors, editors, gallery directors, ad agency creatives, educators and industry leaders" from around the world.

My passion for photography as a photographer is always growing and this event which I have attended for 5 years gives me many ideas, concepts and tools to improve and to bring my photography in bodybuilding and fitness to ever larger audiences. It is great fun filled with presentations by world famous photographers and more, showing their work and describing their careers...

Going late into the evening, there were evening get togethers that went until 1 A.M...

Those late evenings were tough because the mornings started at 8 A.M. with educational seminars on some pretty dry subjects like color management to some more fun like rangefinder photography...

I also had the chance to work with some amazing equipment to take out and use such as this iconic camera provided to me by http://en.leica-camera.com/home/ with film provided to me by http://www.fujifilmusa.com/.

I also had the chance to try out the new http://www.fujifilmusa.com/ Instant Camera and film, great fun...

And finally http://www.mamiya.com/ provided one of their latest medium format camera systems to me for use on multiple shoots since then and over the next week. A 33 megapixel monster of a camera system that produces superb photographs. I have been a featured Mamiya photographer so I think they are expecting to see me shoot some amazing photographs. Actually I think I already have had great results with it and will be posting some of the photographs here over the next few days.

That is a little aside from my usual postings about bodybuilding and fitness but I hope you like seeing my side of what I see in the world of photography.

Thanks and keep coming back if you "Wanna See More...?"
