Into the New Year

Welcome to a belated New Year update, it's been a busy start to the year within my day job as well as my Photography side.  The most prominent event this month was the trip up to London to visit the SWPP convention, in particular the trade show event.  This event is held every year by the SWPP and has a huge training program where new and aspiring photographers, as well as seasoned professionals can meet up and attend various lectures and discussions, as well as just socialising with like minded individuals.  It is the first major event of the year, allowing manufacturers to show there latests gadgets, software, toys and display items as well as informing the future markets of what is available to offer to their customers.  Held over several days, it's a great way to just start the year with new or refreshed ideas of what you can offer your clients.  It's also a great social event for those staying in the area for the duration.  The next big event is The Photography Show held up at the NEC the first weekend in March.  I will be working on The Photographer Academy stand if you are up that way.
