This year I visited the WPPI and DWF conventions in Vegas again. And in-between seminars on wedding photography, and meeting with friends and colleagues, I managed to roam around a bit with my camera.

I loved the #1 and #2 pictures, because of the outstanding sense of houmour they have within (the angel’s tromp pointing to the ladie’s butt; the moon appearing as a ping-pong ball). Just perfect for illustrating how the photographer’s mind works, and for giving a glimpse of his “Weltanschauung”.
