PhotoPLUS Day 2 - Wrapup

Did I forget to mention the crazy PDN and PhotoShelter parties last night? Perhaps, but better to discuss them with tonight's PDN (reprised) and Digital Railroad/et al parties this evening? It seems that the lines were longer than expected for those scantily-clad women (and overly stylish men) who expected to hop from their cabs into the indoors, and were shivering outside teeth-a-chattering.

Upon departure from the PDN party, the folks I was walking with as we ambled back towards Javits, upon seeing a stretch limousine said "awww John, you didn't have to!" Looking around and seeing zero cabs, I placed myself within the proximity of the driver, and, lo and behold, he was asking us where we wanted to go. I told him the Puck Bldg, and he quoted a fair price, especially since we would have had to hire two cabs for us to fit. Two Jacksons later, we were outside of the Puck Bldg stepping out in style. I think our driver was in a bit of trouble though, as I know that it's dubious at best to act as a taxi, and the two phone calls from whomever was no doubt his paying client who emerged from dinner to head to their show resulted in audible vocals from his phone that indicated they were not happy.

I know that a number of folks who found themselves chained to their desks with their 9-5 obligation will be on hand Saturday for the wrapup of the expo's activities. Come early, and prepare for elbow-deep attendees. This Washington DC Photographer will again be on hand signing books in the Thomson booth #769 from 2-3, and I look forward to expanding upon the comments from other professionals about the best business practices for photographers.

I remain looking for the really cool things that you'll be interested in, and when I find the last few nuggets, I'll post some deets and links.
