Headed to PhotoPlus Expo?

10/24/2014

0 Comments

 
One of the biggest photographic trade shows in the country is coming up next Thursday. The show has been one of my favorites since my first one in 1987. One of the exciting things about the show has very little to do with the show's promoters, but with the exhibitors themselves. So many of the companies involved have outstanding programs going on right in their booth on the trade show floor.
