This is what I like about photographs. They're proof that once,
even if just for a heartbeat, everything was perfect.

I first shared this nine years ago, so it's a throwback of a throwback. I know it was 2004, and the location was WPPI, Las Vegas. At first, I thought it was print judging, but there are a few people in here who didn't normally judge. I think it's speakers from that year; I just don't remember everybody being together in one room. The image is thanks to Alan Karlin in a couple of books of WPPI images he sent me after the convention.

Nothing beats the fun of Throwback Thursdays, and sometimes it doesn't matter what the reason was for a group to be together...however, look closely; this one is global with some of the most recognized educators in our industry. It's almost like a "Where's Waldo" drawing.

So, how many can you name? I'm up to forty-six, including three mullets!

If you haven't gone off in the hunt for your own Throwback Thursday images, take the time. Throwbacks are the perfect gateway to great memories and a reminder that nothing matches the power of the photography time machine! It's also a great time to share older photographs with your readers, especially "Mom." Old family portraits are an excellent way to remind Mom that it's time for an updated family portrait!

Happy Throwback Thursday
