Descending on Las Vegas
02nd December 2010
In years gone by, November was the time to travel to Comdex, the huge COMputer DEaler eXhibition. For as long as it was alive – some 25 years, I attended the Comdex Expo in Las Vegas.
Although the last Comdex took place in 2003, I’ve continued to travel to Las Vegas to analyze and discuss the publishing business with two of my closest friends. Lest you think these trips are gambling junkets, we actually visit lots of mass merchandise, retail and book stores to gauge the products, trends and competition. And most of us don’t gamble at the tables – the publishing business is a big enough gamble.
Below are a few photos from each of these mini photo trips. My conclusion is that with careful planning and a lot of running around, I can fit a lot of different types of photography into a very short period of time.
As you can see, I packed a lot of activities into only a few days. When I returned the rental car to Hertz, I found that I had driven 1100 miles during my stay. I did manage to make a big dent in my workload but didn’t quite complete all of my assignments. So I’ll be back again soon. But next time, I’ll have to plan a little more flexibly and arrive equipped to shoot in inclement weather.
