Snyder's attack PhotoPlus Expo - NYC

Last weekend history was made (in the Snyder family) at the annual PhotoPlus Expo in NYC at the Javits Center. Father & son working the same show. I represented Adorama, and for the 1st time, David worked the show for Nikon.
I thought our booth was busy, but when you took a look at Nikon's huge 70x70' exhibit, all you could see was a flood of people. David got quite the intro to trade shows, being asked every possible question from A to Z for three days straight.
On Saturday of the show, Dad/Grandpa (Stanley) took the train up to walk the floor with me and to see David in action. Needless to say, we were both very proud, of my son, and Dad's grandson out in the real world...Lots of smiles! Dad got a chance to meet and hear some legends of the industry speak on Saturday too, Joe McNally, Moose Peterson, Cliff Mauntner, and Ron Magill from the Miami Zoo, who brought an 8 week old leopard out on the Nikon stage.
The three of us had a great dinner together in NYC, before heading back home on Sunday, watching the Redskins beat the Lions the whole way via Amtrak on Slingbox (Slingbox is possibly the best invention since the napkin)
All in all, we had a great weekend! Oh, and thanks to my buddy, Bill Auth for snapping the image you see here.

Afternoon at Kent Island on the Chesapeake

Had a great afternoon drive to Kent Island with Margi, Mom & Dad. Lunch on the water, on which may be one of the last remaining beautiful days of Fall. The boats were cruising the Chesapeake Bay, and there were 100's of sails dotting the Bay from the view on the Rte 50 Bay Bridge. The eastern shore of Maryland is really nice this time of year

Faces of Ground Zero - Joe McNally

As many of you know, Joe McNally is a great photographer and self confessed "we still keep in touch to this day" kinda guy, and I'm lucky to say, a good good friend. Just so happens that Joe is married to Annie, who I've known for many years...Annie is in the biz too, and shoots a mean 400 2.8...Anyway, Joe's "Faces of Ground Zero" project is now being sponsored by Adorama, and we're thrilled to be a part of this history making group of images. Please take a few minutes to read all about it here on Joe's blog: http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/2008/07/08/welcome-adorama/

DLWS - Killington, VT - Moose Peterson

Just got back from a few days at Moose Peterson's DLWS (Digital Landscape Workshop Series) in Killington, VT. Moose along with Joe McNally, Laurie Excel, and Kevin Dobler run of the most informational filled 3 day workshop that I've ever attended. From pre-dawn departures to late night editing sessions, I can't express how fantatstic of an experience the DLWS is. Vermont happened to be drop dead gorgeous, smack dab in the middle of the fall foliage season, which made for gorgeous images full of life and bursting with color.

Adorama is thrilled to anounce that we have partnered with Moose Peterson as a sponsor and we're looking forward to the coming months and years.
