Typically I don't share on my blog my commerical/event work as I figure it's not nearly as exciting to look at compared to cute kids, fun families, couples in love or my nonprofit missions work that I do. But this past week I spent a few days out in California photographing the West Coast Leadership Convention for R3Global. This event had all the right stuff to inspire, modivate and challenge the participates which made for an awesome shooting experience for me as an emotional shooter. I'm still getting awe struck at the emotion in the crowd as I edit thru the 5,000 plus images I took, yeah that's right 5,000! I feel like I'm going to be glued to this computer seat for the next year and a half editting these images ;) can somebody send me some Diet Dr. Pepper please? It's going to be along edit! So here are just a few of my many favs from my 5 days in California.
