Jessie and I just got back from PMA, one of the biggest yearly photography trade shows. This year it was held in scenic Anaheim, CA, which is only a 1.5 hour drive from San Diego. Between the close proximity and free passes to boot, I believe the phrase “I want to go to there” was uttered.
It’s unfortunate that I haven’t attended many trade shows in the past, because it was a great experience talking to company reps in person. Who did we drop by and visit? Sony, Nikon, Borrowlenses.com, Moo.com, Lightpanels, ThinkTank, Lowepro, and, well, many more. Who can pass up a free tiger. I’ve been looking at a Lightpanels light package, so it was great to find out what kit I actually needed.
When you’re back home adding up all the brochures, catalogs, and schwag from the day, I believe the only way to quantify it is by weight. My take? About 3.5 pounds.
On an unrelated note, I came across “10 Very Good Reasons Why You Should Grow a Giant Beard.” If I had seen this a few weeks ago, I might have held off on the beard removal. After all, it’s winter and beards are apparently great for sledding (Reason #3). Check out the rest here.
