DWF Convention 2011 - Simply Awesome! |
 The
DWF Convention in San Antonio
will feature more speakers, more events, and more intimate
classes. But thanks to
Simply Color,
it’ll be the same registration fee as last year.
We’re honored that Simply Color has signed on as the Grand
Sponsor of the convention, helping us keep the registration
fee frozen at 2010 prices. Even better, every single early registrant is going to
get a great gift: Simply Color is giving away a free
Custom-Sized, Custom-Framed Fine Art print. Any size you want
up to 20x20.
Registration opens next month, but mark the dates right
now: Jan 16-19th in San Antonio.

Guns and Weddings - A Deadly Combo |
 A
Turkish groom accidentally shot and killed his Father and two
Aunts, injuring eight others all while celebrating his
wedding with automatic gunfire. This just weeks after an
Italian wedding photographer was shot and killed by a gun used
as a prop at a wedding.
Right now DWF Professionals are discussing guns at
weddings, and while the debate is a touchy subject for some
it's a discussion that warrants your attention. If only for
safety's sake.
