DWF Convention: IMPORTANT
dwfcDWF Convention 2010 sponsored by Simply Canvas is such a hot ticket that the hotel is now completely sold-out!

There are other quality hotels within two blocks of the Loews Vanderbilt, and we've arranged a special rate for DWF members. If you'd like to attend DWF 2010 next month, you CAN still register, and be a part of an awesome convention experience. Even though the Loews is sold-out, you can still attend every single event, including 8 hours with Jerry Ghionis, all of the partying, and all of the networking.

Choose Your King Choose Your Queen
finaoTwo DWF members will win an all expense paid, free trip to DWF Convention 2010. YOU get to choose the King and Queen of the DWF, right now, in the Finao Delusions of Grandeur contest. All DWF members can vote, but you have to make a charity donation of as little as $1 for your vote to count. The more you donate to The Soul Society, the more your vote counts!

Check out the goofball entries, cast your vote, and help third world orphan children at the same time.

Wedding Photographers Do It Better?
tyDo you think being a wedding photographer would make you a better portrait shooter?

2008 DWF Convention Speaker Tamara Lackey thinks so, after she shot a portrait session with Ty Pennington of ABC's Extreme Home Makeover. Check out the shoot, and offer your opinion about wedding photographers shooting portraits.

The Perfect Gift
bowFor your second shooter. For your assistant. Could there possibly be a better gift than a 1 year DWF Pro membership? We'll send your gift recipient an email on the day of your choosing informing them of your generosity. Plus, they'll get gift certificates from Simply Canvas, Finao, and FundySOS! If you'd like to give DWF membership to someone special, drop us a note, and we'll set you up.

A Very Candid Interview With Skip Cohen
blogDWF Convention speaker Skip Cohen is one of those industry legends and we were lucky enough to spend some time with him a few weeks ago while we were in NYC. Skip tells all, from being a parent's worst nightmare to his time spent with Hasselblad and WPPI.
