**Very limited availability, Sign up NOW!**

I just signed up for 3 days of fun at Mystic 5 (a smaller convention in the northeast for portrait and wedding photographers)  in Jan 2010! I can’t wait to see Jerry Ghionis, Joe McNally, David Williams, John Michael Cooper (Alt F), David and Quin Cheung, Tricoast, Andy Marcus, Greg Gibson, Michelle Turner, George Weir, Jason Groupp, Storey Wilkins, Andrew Funderburg, Jerome Braga, and the one, the only, the supah suacey Stacey Doyle!!!! Take a look at the schedule, it’s amazing!

I attended Mystic 4 earlier this year and I have to say that I was very impressed with the setup. I had heard about Mystic 4 from the local photographers and they raved about it. I guess I was a bit renascent from attending the bigger conventions but, honestly.. I was blown away. The venue was sweet, the layout of the seminar room was astounding, the speakers were way cool, and offered a plethora of information.

Additionally, the hotel staff were way cool. No bs for shooting indoors, serving myriads of drinks to the wee hours, and tolerating our late night social scene with much patience.

I’d highly recommend Mystic as a regular gathering for those local and from far away. Great job Walter! You really impressed me!

Here’s a taste of the Mytic 4 experience:

Over the weekend I had a little recharge with my first ever group photo walk in Boston. I signed up in May and thought it would be a great opportunity to get out to explore Boston. The walk was created by Scott Kelby, the Photoshop guru and photographer. The photo walk from Boston harbor to the North End was led by Natick local Brad Moore, photographer extraordinaire. We started out at 9am at the ICA where pop artists Shepard Fairey has a sensational display of his sweet work. We slowly made our way through Boston and finally ended up at the Boston Beer Works at 12:30ish for some food and drinks. Here’s a few images from the world wide photo walk that I love.

I saw a tweet this week on www.twitter.com via tweetdeck about TMZ’s Wacked Wedding Contest. They were looking for pictures that depicted the crazy antics at a wedding reception. Needless to say, I have my fair share of crazy moments at a wedding reception. I submitted a few pics from the wedding day but, one of the ones that stands out to me is the crazy bridesmaid at Sonia and Mark’s wedding. I guess a little bit of booze and a shovel can make people do some wacky stuff.

The voting starts on Monday. It would be great to get some votes from all my peops out there. Here’s the link to my image on TMZ’s site. It would be really cool to win the $250 prize or at least the opportunity to get mentioned on TMZ’s show. Thanks!!!
