The annual PhotoPlus Expo is around the corner and I expect to report from NYC's Jacob Javits center where it will be held. Other than the usual mix of vendors under one very big roof, the expo also has some amazing workshops and seminars. I have applied for a press pass but I am not certain if I will receive one in time. What I would like to report back is the kinds of things that are discussed at the workshops and seminars. And, of course, the world's newest photo gear will be on display.

How many of you would like to know what this year's Expo has to offer? The more emails I get from you, the better my chances are for trekking into NYC on Thursday and Friday. So, this is your turn to chime in.

Diving into my archives today, I found an image that I had to post on Sepia Mutiny.

JibJab watch out. You have got some serious competition. Badmash which brought us the hilariously funny SINGHSONS is at it again, this time with a sorta political twist.

If any of you are still on the fence this election season, I hope this animation will help you decide.
