So today was our first full day at Photoshop World. We attended the Key Note opening presentation and then went to some classes with Joe McNally (an amazing photographer).
After that we attended the Expo where a number of resellers were showing their products. The expo was really good, there was loads of amazing photography stuff there – Lisa’s worst nightmare! But today I didn’t buy a thing, I’m really proud of myself.
Anyway, one of the resellers (Westcott) sells a lot of lighting equipment and they had a couple of “bays” set up with lights. Each bay had a model posing for passers by. If you had a camera (and we did) you could just snap away and test out how good the lights were.
What made this funny (and sad) is one of the girls was dressed in 1940’s lingerie and was clearly not that comfortable with all the photographers there. Sure she was smiling at each person with a camera, but the eyes never lie. Every now and then her smile would drop and you could see she really wasn’t enjoying it.
I guess being a model you are used to having your picture taken, but when there are so many people fighting to get in front of you it’s got to be pretty scary. I really felt for her. But then I thought sod it and took her picture too.
Today Carter and Master Chief visited the casino and I found them tonight splitting their winnings.
