Off to Professional Photographers of Michigan convention

Loretta leaves today for the Professional Photographers of Michigan convention, which starts on Friday evening in Ypsilanti. Michael and I will leave tomorrow, after Michael spends today and tonight preparing all of the desserts for Loretta's Presidential Welcome party. We will return on Wednesday.

When Michael volunteered to take on this dessert venture seven years ago, he had no idea that he would be two weeks away from his first Miss Heart of Michigan scholarship pageant. He is great at multi tasking, so dessert preparation and Miss Heart final details will be a challenge that he will be able to handle.

The four day convention will bring in over fifteen speakers from all over the US and Canada. Michael and Loretta presented a program for the Northern Ontario Professional Photographers five years ago and met the nicest group of photographers. Last year, they saw their Canadian hosts present a program at the Professional Photographers of Ohio convention. Rob and James gave one of the best programs that Michael and Loretta had ever seen, so they convinced the PPM program chair to bring them to Michigan. Michael and Loretta will get to become the hosts this time.

There will be programs from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM, then a social gathering every night. Since it is Super Bowl weekend, PPM will have a huge party for the members. The weekend will be informative, fun and exhausting!

There will be hundreds of images taken at the convention (there should be, at a professional photographer convention!), so we will be sure to post them next week. This is my second convention. I know it will be great!

Have a great Super Bowl weekend!
