A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

A Picture is worth a thousand words. I truly appreciated the meaning of this statement when I visited The Annenberg Space for Photography. The current exhibition are Pictures of the Year International (POYi), the oldest and most prestigious photojournalism competition of the world. This exhibit will be here until November 1, 2009. Admission is free and could be enjoyed in about 1-2 hours. Go and capture the moment. Photos by Julius Shulman.

Safety at Your Party

Ever think that you wouldn’t know what to do if there was an emergency at your event? I didn’t either until I attended the BizBash Expo and Awards in Downtown LA. Things to consider when planning an event and walking the site:
- have a first aid kit on hand
- know where the emergency exits and extinguishers are
- never block a door or doorway
- train your employees in first aid and CPR
- abide by fire codes
- inquire into the certifications of the venue staff
- learn the security and evacuation plan of the venue
- communicate emergency protocol clearly with all vendors
- create a security plan for all events
You never know when an emergency will happen, whether it is a natural disaster (earthquake) or an unforeseen emergency (a heart attack). Either way, be prepared for the unexpected.
