By wizard I mean thousands of awesome photographers. Which makes the Land of Oz none other than good ole’ Las Vegas!! I’m off to Vegas for 5 days stuffed with photography, good food, meeting new people, learning a ton and walking around like crazy… Also known as WPPI. Oh, I forgot fun in that list! And did I mention food? Yes, to say I’m excited is quite an understatement. This is my first year going to WPPI, and it’s going to be like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.
I’m actually quite familiar with Vegas. My family goes almost every summer to relax by the pool, hit up all the best buffets (coughTheWynncough), do a little shopping, see some shows, and mainly just relax. Funny enough, I was even there last year during the time the WPPI was happening. I just wasn’t there for WPPI. (It was a quick vacay during my spring break, mostly to take pictures for my Senior Show.)
This time is going to be quite different, though. I’m going by myself. Let me repeat that. BY MYSELF. My family isn’t coming. Jake won’t even be there. For an introvert like myself, that is a big deal. Like, ginormous. If you’re going and you happen to see me, please say hi! I’ll be the one standing awkwardly in the corner, smiling really big and goofy because I’m excited to be there but totally clueless as to what I should be doing. Hence standing in the corner. So really, come say hi. I’ll love you forever lol.
Well, I’m off to finish packing. (Procrastinator much?) But I can’t wait for what’s in store this week : ) How excited am I? Let’s put it this way. I painted my nails. And I never paint my nails. Nails painted = rare occasion for Carissa. So yes, I’m excited.
Yellow because I’m excited for spring : )
Happy weekend!!!
