It was crowded, smokey and expensive, but loads of  fun. Here are some photos from the worlds largest photography convention and some of the most famous photographers in the world.

Oh, and again I bumped into another Celebrity at the airport, but this time it was at my aiprort in Sacramento, California..none other than the famous MR. ”T”  I pitty the fool!  You must always have your camera ready!!

Enjoy all the photos!!

All images shot with my new Fuji Z5 6mp camera. It was so much fun using a point and shoot!

Im talking about WPPI the photography convention and its a really big shooooow!

Last year while I was waiting in line for my registration I noticed a familar face behind me, it was actor/director Joe Regulbuto from the old “Murphy Brown” TV show that was on ABC for 8 seasons. He is now the director of the “George Lopez Show” on television and also a big photo buff himself. He was really taken back that I knew him since he hasen’t been in front of the camera for some years now. I guess when you are as old as I am you watch a lot of TV and the old shows are the best. Keep an eye out for other celebrities who might be there, I was told there were about a dozen or so.

My photos when we saw Sinbad last summer in Sacramento, this guy cracks me up, he is so funny!

I knew it was going to be a beautiful weekend, and I’m normally shooting weddings on weekends, so when I get the chance to go back and visit my old stomping ground, San Francisco, with my wife, we jump at the chance. Oh, and my wife loves the shopping in Union Square, they have everything there, clothes, shoes, jewelery…all of my money too! LOL!

We had lunch at the top of Macys at the Cheese Cake Factory. When you are through waiting almost an hour for a table, and finish up on one of their spectacular meals you have to work it off somehow. I told her to go shopping in Macys and I gave myself a 30 minute assignment to just capture a little of San Francisco right across the street at the Union Square Park. Each person has there own story, you’ll see street poor, millionaires, and cops sitting in their car afraid at times to get out because there are so many crazies out there. I captured just a small part of the city, a city that is so diverse with people as it is with all of the cultures too. Look at the faces and you will see what I mean. These are faces that visit San Francisco from all over the world, some are just visitors and others are residents. Its people watching at its best. The photo here is quite gripping as you see this poor homeless woman walking and carrying all of her possessions all in black except for her red scarf, the young couple in the background watching her walk by expresses it all. There is no sound with the 64 images, I wanted the viewer to just watch and take it all in.

I will let the images tell the story. Where else in the world can you have a plane crash into your $180,000 dollar home, with NO INSURANCE, and 7 months later a Television network sends you on a vacation to the Bahamas and when you get back in a week you are now the proud owners of a million dollar home and new $60K truck?

I’ll give you a hint…it’s not Iraq, it’s only here in the USA!

THANK YOU ABC TELEVISION, DISNEYLAND & MICKEY MOUSE!

The only thing that bothered me while watching this latest show, was that none of them thanked GOD. Hopefully down the road someone, a friend or neighbor will let them know who they should really be thanking.
