april PUG meeting

We held our monthly Pictage User Group meeting on Tuesday night. Corey McNabb was our studio spotlight and he did a presentation of his work and talked about his business. Corey has been named one of the top 100 photographers in the country and is a recent first place and multi-award winner at WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association). He also recently studied with Mike Colon in Newport Beach, CA and is a member of the Grace Ormonde 5-Star Directory. Several of Corey's friends came to show their support and two of his brides and his wife joined us at Carraba's for dinner. Then, a few of us went to Corey's studio until the wee hours of the morning and he showed us how to use Lightroom. We have been teasing Corey that he is on every photographer's blog that attended the big WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) conference in Las Vegas. Michael gave him the new name McBlogStar. Corey had over 600 hits to his blog and most of them came from other photographer's blogs linked to his.
