<img alt="" src="http://katchlight.com/images/finnlovethis.jpg" title="Fathers Favorites" class="aligncenter" width="900" height="600" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking of a way to get Portland&#8217;s Dad&#8217;s the best present, rather than the usual boring sweater and colone combo that they usually get!  Of course, I want my photographer to be the main player in the event&#8230;so I&#8217;ve come up with Father&#8217;s Favorites.  While my Daddy and Me day is still going be scheduled as planned, I thought that what Dad&#8217;s really wanted was something to bring a smile to his face every time he looked at it&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.katchlight.com/fathersfavorites.html"><strong><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">CLICK HERE FOR FATHERS FAVORITES INFO</span></span></strong></a></p>
<p>Check out this Amazing One-Of-A-Kind event. There are only 10 slots open and it&#8217;s first come first booked!</p>
<p>Father&#8217;s Favorites is taking place Wednesday June 2nd. (by appointment)<br />
Viewing day is Wednesday June 9th. (by appointment)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Phew. Well, it&#8217;s been a few days since I returned home from the WPPI conference in Las Vegas, and I&#8217;m now suitably recovered enough to give a quick rundown!!</p>
<p>This was my first WPPI, and what a way to start! The purpose of my trip was for networking &#8211; to meet sponsors for my workshops and speaking tours.  I&#8217;m very happy to announce that it was a huge success, and would like to thank all who will be helping in the future!  No name dropping yet, but some of the industry&#8217;s largest vendors will be partnering with me.</p>
<p>Aside from handshaking and back slapping, I also took some time to help my friend, <a href="http://www.andyarmstrongphoto.com">Andy Armstrong</a>, on his <a href="http://www.getdesignhouse.com">Design House</a> stand for a while.  Andy&#8217;s software is amazing, and I use it everyday, which is why I had no problem at all helping him through the show.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a moderator at the <a href="http://www.nobsphotosuccess.com/">NoBS Photo Success forum</a>, and the co-creator/owner of the forum, <a href="http://www.hodginsphotography.com">James Hodgins</a>, is a great friend of mine and we spent much of the time there meeting sponsors and generally having way too much fun.  I also need to thank James (or Hodgy as he is known) for all his help &#8211; without him, and NoBS, I&#8217;d have no sponsors, and my business wouldn&#8217;t be where it is today.  If you are a photographer &#8211; check them out!</p>
<p>Finally &#8211; I entered 3 prints in the 16&#215;20 competition &#8211; my first time &#8211; and received an Accolade of Excellence for this shot of Mandy Apple, titled&#8230;&#8217;Next!?&#8217;.<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.portlandpinups.com/nobs/09-1028-Mandy-035.jpg" title="Next!" class="aligncenter" width="600" height="750" /></p>
<p>Here are a few shots from Vegas &#8211; none of which were taken by me!! Most are from Hodgy, the group shot from <a href="http://www.roystudio.ca">Dan Morency</a> &#8211; also from NoBS.</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t wait for next year!</p>
