You know what the bad thing about going to Las Vegas is? Coming back home and realizing you’re not in Las Vegas anymore.
I had so much fun during my three days attending Skip’s Summer School, which was a workshop featuring a diverse line up of some of the industry’s most talented photographers. Yervant, Jasmine Star, Jonathan Canlas, Scott Bourne, Stacy Pearsall, and Kevin Kubota were a few of the photographers that spoke to us during the workshop.
I learned a lot, met a lot of new photographer friends and I can’t wait until next year!
Some of the funniest moments during the workshop occurred during Kevin Kubota’s segment. Everytime someone’s cell phone went off during the workshop, he wouldl make them come up on stage and dance in front of the entire audience. And I got to get some shots of it!
Skip Cohen decided to make announcements lying down on the stage in honor of Kevin Kubota’s challenge to us to do the “Laying Down” game. The laying down game is basically just finding random places in public, lying face down, and getting a picture of it. lol
This is the mousepad I got whacked in the head with as they were getting passed out like frisbees. But hey, at least I got a free mousepad for showing up early! And I got a picture of a camera…that someone had just finished using to take a picture.
A few friends and I met up after one of the days’ workshops and had a photo excursion on the Strip. We started off in front of the MGM Grand, where the workshop was being held. Right across the street was the Excalibur. Every time I see it, I feel like I’m stuck in the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas game. You know, the “Las Venturas” part? I used to be so addicted to that game.
Yep, that’s Elmo.
Elmo up close! I got really excited when I saw Elmo, because I love, love, love, love Elmo.
The laying down game in action!

I can’t wait until I can go to Vegas again. Is 2011 here yet?
And happy birthday to my big brother!
