Jose Villa WPPI Lecture Notes 2011
Jose Villa is an portrait photographer whose work is truly art. He shoots with a Contax 645 and uses Fuji 400H Pro film. He does not put watermarks or logos on his photos, and there really is no need to because his work is so distinguishable.

Jerry Ghionis at WPPI 2011 | The Anatomy of a Powerful Image
After days of little sleep, it took a loud alarm, a Starbucks frap, and the 15-minute sprint (in heels, mind you) to the MGM Grand Garden Arena.  Thanks to WPPI’s new Pre-Board system, the place was already fairly packed 10 minutes before the event started. But once the staff knew I was covering the event for SLR Lounge, I was given a front seat to one of the most emotional and moving classes in all of WPPI.

Kay Eskridge WPPI 2011 Lecture Notes
It was Wednesday morning, my last day in Vegas. I had sat through eight presentations at this point and was dreading another drawn out lullaby.

Kay’s assistants, AKA “girlfriends,†were passing around pretzels, just in case others in the audience were also recovering from the previous night’s Pictage Party.
Jared Bauman WPPI 2011 Lecture Notes
Jared’s main message was you can either create clarity, or create confusion. “This seriously affects not only booking, but size of bookings. If you are one of the many struggling with how to setup your wedding packages or A La Carte delivery method, this was a presentation for you! Whichever method you use, you should approach each with the mentality of the photographer, NOT the client!ÂÂ

This Sony Artisan of Imagery boldly shared the trials that plagued her life as a young woman starting with a scarring date rape incident in college that led her life to a downward spiral of despair.
Roberto Valenzuela WPPI 2011 Notes
What would happen if you practiced your photography like a musical instrument?
Roberto Valenzuela grew up in Mexico, and when he was told he would not be able to attend college in the states unless he was able to pay for it himself he found a way. He learned how to play guitar, because he knew there was money in teaching others to play. He began the seminar with a slideshow of his work and he played an amazing piece on his guitar while we watched. It is hard to decide which part was more breathtaking.
