Weather

I just checked weather.com and it looks like it's gonna be 81 tomorrow in Dallas, but in the low 40's next week. What kind of craziness is that? Just thought I'd let everyone know that it looks like it's going to be a little chilly.

bring your (wedding) work

Please bring some of your wedding or portrait images, preferably recent, on your laptops or DVDs and hopefully we'll have some time to look at them together.

With our awesome assistants' expertise, I'd like to get our workshop editing done early on Thursday so I can see and critique some of your normal wedding photography.

Also, if you like, bring sample brochures, cards, albums, whatever. Remember to travel light though!
