Pro Photo Show is at the PMA Convention 2009. We’re here on the show floor checking out all the cool gadgets and we’ll post more thru the week. There’s plenty to see, but so far nothing downright revolutionary. You can follow @gavinseim on twitter for lots more updates… Sondra Seim

Tuesday morning I’ll be in Seattle to catch Virgin America to Vegas for the PMA 2009 convention March 3-5.
This will be my first time at PMA, but I hope to come back with many tales of great new gear gadgets and goodies for us photographers and maybe a bit of new knowledge to share. Stay tune to the site for updates.
If you’re headed to PMA, give a shout out. Hopefully I can meet some of you face to face. You can follow me on Twitter so we can stay connected. Post your twitter in the PMA forum thread so I’ll be sure to follow you… Gavin Seim

It’s no secret that photographers are sometimes treated as criminals for doing nothing more than taking pictures. This video will make you laugh, as well as make photographer criminalization look pretty stupid.
It’s about Duane Kerzik, who was arrested for taking pictures at Penn station. For their photo contest no less. I’m glad I’m not on the PR team for Amtrak, because it looks like their on a one way rail to stupidity. I could say more, but instead, just watch the video.
Update: Sorry to our non US readers. I realized that this Hulu video is not available outside the US. Hopefully it will show up on other sites soon… Gav

The big PPS Winter/Christmas contest ended on Jan 1st and the winners have just been chosen:
Special thanks to this years sponsors. Stop by and visit them:
I wanted this contest to be totally fair. First I gathered all the entrants email addresses into a single list, including doubles for those who earned double entries by linking to PPS. Then I randomized and numbered the list using Alpha B, and then used a Web number picker to choose winning numbers for more than $2000.00 in prizes. Thanks to all who entered and congratulations to all who won, you’ll be contacted soon.
Even if your not on the winners list, watch your inbox. All entrants will receive a special free effects pack from Seim Effects that has some brand new effects in it including the new Golden Sun presets. You can also fan Seim Effects on Facebook for more specials and freebies.
Stay tune for the next contest by watching the site. You can also become a PPS fan on Facebook. That way you’ll be notified when contests come up. Don’t forget click thru and check out the great products from our sponsors. You may want to buy them anyways since their all so cool.
