Time Travel: Back to 2007 and WPPI

​It's my favorite day of the week, Throwback Thursday. Over the years, I've shared a few of the pages from Graphi Studio's "Day in the Life of WPPI" albums. These are from 2007, the last year the show was at Bally's and Paris. It's also one of the few pages where I recognize everybody in the images! I shared these many years ago in a post, but they're too much fun not to share again!

From top left to right - Cherie Steinberg and Hedley Jones, Mike Colon and David Jay, David Beckstead and Gary Fong and Vicki and Jed Taufer. They were all photographed by Catherine Hall, one of four photographers featured in that year's book, along with Calvin Hayes, Jim Garner, and Victor Sizemore. 

In the second image, we've got Joe Paulicivic (Joe Photo) and Marcus Bell in the front row. I think that's Brook Todd on one side and Parker Pfister and a hotel staff member in the middle - my guess is it was in the very early morning hours at the hotel. After all, nobody buffs the floors in any Vegas hotel during "rush hour!" And Catherine, as always, captured the essence of enthusiasm! 

The entire concept behind the project was to document each convention through the eyes of four different artists. The idea for the album was thanks to Maureen Neises at Graphi. The book became a milestone for me each year. It was the perfect way to document the event and capture so many different memories.

Throwback Thursdays are the perfect time to take a look in your rearview mirror. Old photographs and videos are a great reminder of the power of the services you provide to every client - helping them stop time and capture memories. Old photos are also one of your best marketing tools for your social media presence or blog. Use throwbacks to help remind "Mom" that it's time for a new family portrait. Use your old images to discuss how quickly time passes and the importance of capturing those cherished memories. It's the perfect way to put those old photographs of yours to work, planting the seeds for new business.

And, if you're not blogging about them, take a walk down Memory Lane for your own enjoyment. There are few things to put a smile on your face faster than looking at old photographs!

​Happy Throwback Thursday!
