Recently, The SR Education Group Network’s Guide to Art School named Thomas Garza Photography 27th in The Top 50 Photoshop Blogs.  Guide to Art Schools is the ideal starting point for any prospective art student. They are an online database that connects millions of individuals to both online and traditional universities. They work with a wide variety of postsecondary institutions to help aspiring professionals gain the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the art field.

In such a competitive market, I am honored to be ranked 27th amongst such a talented group across the nation. As most of you know I use Photoshop on a regular basis which played a part in me receiving this award. I am honored that I would even be considered, so I guess I should get in gear and add more of my work to my blog. This award has definitely movated me to do more with photoshop and to work more on my blog.

I had a chance to go to Skip Summer School in Las Vegas with some friends. Marketing Essentials International (MEI) hosted “Skip’s Summer School 2010”, open to professional photographers of all levels, including those just breaking into the business. The event took place August 8-11, 2010 at the MGM Grand Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV. Skip’s Summer School featured 15 renowned speakers/educators covering a wide range of photography topics such as weddings, portraiture, pets and children, portfolio creation, high school seniors, boudoir, Golden Seniors, lighting, business tips and more. “Skip’s Summer School” is the creation of Skip Cohen, former president of Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI). I had a great time and learned a lot. Here are a few photographs from the event.

This was my first year to WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International), which occurs right before wedding season each year. I am not an official wedding photographer, but my friend Brittany of Brittany Nichole Photography (awesome wedding photographer by the way) is and I decided to go with her to this convention. While there I was able to a see and touch all the new albums, prints, and techniques as well as here a lot of great speakers.
