James Rubio: Big Island of Hawaii Wedding Photographer » Cruizin http://www.jamesrubiophotography.com/blog Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:43:31 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Vegas/WPPI 2009! http://www.jamesrubiophotography.com/blog/vegaswppi-2009.html http://www.jamesrubiophotography.com/blog/vegaswppi-2009.html#comments Wed, 11 Feb 2009 21:03:01 +0000 James Rubio http://www.jamesrubiophotography.com/blog/?p=1090 Bev and I will be attending the WPPI Convention at MGM Grand Vegas this year and we leave for Vegas this Saturday!!  We just can’t wait! It will be a week of learning, networking, researching and FUN. :D  

Things I want to accomplish while there:

  • Listen to and meet as many speakers/photographers as I can.  Being on the Big Island  can feel very isolating. It will be such a blessing to be able to meet and learn from all these other great photographers.
  • See the latest products from vendors which will help with photography.
  • Check out  every album vendor to see in person their albums and choose one to use.  I’d like to upgrade to a more high-end album vendor for my clients.
  • Have a lot of quality time with Bev.  This is my highest priority since we’ve both been so busy with weddings recently and hardly have any time for ourselves.

Can’t wait!!!

Update: We just shot two awesome weddings this past weekend and we can’t wait to post some of the highlights. :)  Please check back soon!

“SNOWMEN!!!”, these kids yelled as they passed by. It’s always fun watching the local Hawaiian kids in the snow.

"SNOWMEN!!!!!", they yelled as they passed by... not a common sight in Hawaii

*** Warning: Make sure to use high SPF sunscreen and wear shades if going up.
