Here's my renaissance photo... http://twitpic.com/3uaxhu

List of things to do in Las Vegas while collaborating on @airplaneblazer

1. dress in sparkly red sequined jumpsuits and dive en masse into the bellagio fountain. esther williams eat your heart out!
2. take in a showing of the oh-so-sophisticated 'Thunder from Down Under' (mmm...banana hammocks...)
3. find out if they really do mean 'all you can eat' at the circus circus waffle 'n' lobster buffet. #realmaplesyrup
4. choreograph a partridge family style song and dance routine with which to wow the crowds milling about the fashion island mall. bellbottom pantsuits will be required.
5. pile 20 people into a van with tinted bubble windows and a sunset painted on the side, then cruise the strip shouting obscenities through an old-timey megaphone.

If at least three of these things do not happen, I will consider the collaboration a failure indeed. Just wanted to manage expectations from the outset.

Frank Sinatra?

Danny Ocean/Frank Sinatra/Ocean's 11

I've been a long time follower of Nate and Jaclyn's blog, their images are one of the main reason's I'm trying to break into the photography industry. I need that next level of education that I feel this shoot shop can provide to really kick my ass into gear and hit it big in Minnesota (did I mention it's freezing here?!)

Thanks for the opportunity

Chris

Frank Sinatra / Danny Ocean / Ocean's 11!

Frank Sinatra | Danny Oceans | Oceans Eleven - 1960's version.
I LOVE The Image is Found, I am honestly a HUGE HUGE fan of their work.It would be the best Birthday gift EVER.
My BIRTHDAY IS FEBRUARY 18TH. First WPPI event. Please pretty please!! :)

Nickie Ferrante / Cary Grant / An Affair To Remember

Danny Ocean/ Frank Sinatra/ Ocean's 11 = YEAH baby!!!

Danny Ocean/ played by Frank Sinatra / in Ocean's Eleven

Oops forgot to put why I should win: because the Kaisers are the best and I would love to learn from the best in Vegas of all places. Thanks!
Danny Ocean played by Frank Sinatra in Ocean's Eleven.

I think it's Richard Denning....

I should win because winning is awesome and Nate and Jaclyn are my heroes :)

This is! Danny Ocean played by Frank Sinatra with Beatrice Ocean played by Angie Dickinson from the original 1960's "Ocean's Eleven", which also starred the other members of the Rat Pack, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin.
I think I should win not only for my clever sleuthing (I googled "Movies set in Vegas" and then starting clicking the oldest ones) but also because I am fun! But I could use some schooling in the art of awesomesauce, of which imageisfound is the master.
Also, I already have tickets to Airplanes and Blazers, and I will be bringing my A game.

It's Frank Sinatra playing Danny ocean in oceans 11! Great movie :) I would just love to win! I would love to grow as a photographer and learn from the best! I've been following Nate & Jac's works and hope to learn more from them :) plus, they are super cute!

Oops, forgot why I should win! I need to win because no one awesome ever brings kickass workshops here to Vegas where I just so happen to live. :( And I found out about their workshop after I spent too much money on WPPI stuff.

Just for good measure, the answer again. Frank Sinatra / Danny Ocean / Ocean's 11 (The OG Version). :)

Frank Sinatra (scene is from Ocean's 11)

I believe that's Sean Connery in the film "Diamonds are Forever." I'm probably totally wrong, but I was willing to search the internet for several frustrating minutes to attempt an answer, so I think that counts for something. That's why I should win. Also: The Image Is Found have been my favorite photographers since I stumbled upon their website in, like, 2008... And I would absolutely love a free chance to learn from their genius methods. ABSOLUTELY LOVE.

FRANK SINATRA - Ocean's 11!!!! And why I want to win? 1. Cause I LOVE the Image is Found 2. I've been doing photography for about 5 years on my own and right about now I would about die for a teaspoon of the inspiration that flows from such creative giants :) 3. I have no money. Thanks for this opportunity!!!!

Character: Danny Ocean
Actor: Frank Sinatra
Movie: Ocean's Eleven (from 1960)
Oh I love the power of google...

I think I should win because if I do, I will personally send a cupcake to everyone at Airplanes & Blazers and everybody at the workshop. That's right, I'm not above bribery. :)

The Movie is the Original Ocean's 11, Frank Sinatra - Danny Ocean

I would love to win because I am just starting out and have started to book my first weddings. I LOVE capturing peoples' stories and giving them something that reminds them the beauty of who they are.

Also, I stalk the image is found website constantly and love their style.

Danny Ocean played by Frank Sinatra in Ocean's Eleven. I should win because..... as a documentary filmmaker i have to take portraits in all kinds of uncontrolled environments and have to think creatively on the spot - which you do so beautifully!

Danny Ocean / Frank Sinatra/ Ocean's 11 (1960)

...crossing fingers!!

DANNY OCEAN / FRANK SINATRA / OCEAN'S ELEVEN (1960)

I SHOULD WIN BECAUSE I'M TYPING IN ALL CAPS, AND BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS, LIKE, AT ALL. IT'S ALL A SHAM, AND SO, IF I GO TO THAT WORKSHOP, THEN, AND ONLY THEN, WILL THE POWER BEFALL ME TO KNOW HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH.

I think that the character is James Bond played by the great Sean Connery in the movie Diamonds are Forever.

So, I think I should win because...I want to give my future wife something special right now.

I don't have a whole lot of money right now and if I did have money I would spend it all on marrying her.

She was the one who introduced me to the image is found and since then I have admired their work. But more so I've admired their relationship( I don't mean to sound cheesy but it's true).

Right now, me and my girlfriend have been working to get a photography business started while trying to get money together to get married. It's been pretty rough and I don't know if I will ever really be able to get us everything we need, but I can try to win this contest for us.

p.s. I know this is a pretty stupidly long comment and I may not have gotten the movie right, but a guy has got to try. Right?

Ocean's Eleven (1960)

Danny Ocean/Frank Sinatra/Ocean's 11
This Shoot Shop is 3 days after my birthday and would be the best present EVER.

frank sinatra / Angie Dickinson /Oceans 11! I've never won a real contest. It would be a great victory for me! Disclaimer: I did win a pig when I was ten at at a county fair. Seriously...what kind of parents say NO to a full grown pig for a pet?!? This would totally redeem that short lived "almost victory" ...for sure! :)

My answer: Cary Grant. Though I don't recognize this movie at all I think I should win because February 19th is my late grandmother's birthday and she always wanted me to go do cool new things like attend a workshop in las vagas.

The answer to the photo quiz is:
Danny Ocean
Frank Sinatra
Ocean's 11 (1960 version)

I think I should win because I have been a HUGE admirer of the Image Is Found photography for about 3 years and they are such an inspiration to me and my wife. I think their photography is amazing and it would be the raddest opportunity to learn from them at WPPI!

Frank Sinatra/ Danny Ocean/ Oceans Eleven. BAM.

When I wake up in the morning and reflect on my dreams from the night before roughly 2% involve me looking like Heidi Klum. The WHOLE ENTIRE 98% left over are me wishing I could touch the cloaks of Nate and Jaclyn Kaiser. :)
My name is Tressie. The love of my life/husband/father to my kiddo is named Chad. We have a little baby whose name is Dexter. He is the tops and not a serial killer, as far as we know. :)
We live in a place where people are always trying to put baby in a corner. The Kaiser's have been so beyond inspirational to us with their balls to the wall approach towards their business. My husband Chad and I try to live our own lives fully and unapologetically just like that. We would like people to know that photography can be just as radical as life.
So, thanks a billion for hosting such a cool contest with such a killer prize. I hope beyond hope that whoever wins realizes that they just hit. the. jackpot.!
And if I happen to get 2nd or 3rd you better believe my razor sharp dance moves are set to STUN!

Frank Sinatra in Ocean's Eleven! There should be a new part of the website for "the contest is found". This is great. I think I should win because I went to expensive art school six years ago and would love to be inspired again by Nate and Jaclyn. I'm craving creativity! Also, I think I should win because my husband makes hilarious websites. www.dearblankpleaseblank.com and www.grouchyrabbit.com. Just saying. :)

OOH! OOH! I know! It's Frank Sinatra as Danny Ocean in Ocean's 11!!! I deserve this 'cause: 1. I did my research! 2. I love to take pictures 3. I've never been to Vegas, and 4. I want to find the image!

Danny Ocean played by Frank Sinatra in the original "Ocean's 11" -- Ocean's you glad the answer IS FOUND so you can help me find THE IMAGE in Vegas?! For now I'll pretend that Airplanes and Blazers are like shooting stars 'cuz I could really use this wish right now...their shootshop is #1 of “Osborn's 11” in 2011!

I believe that's Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in Key Largo.

danny ocean / frank sinatra / oceans 11, the OG.

and you should totally pick me because i strongly admire the work of images found and i will challenge them to a skanking competition to operation ivy and also beat them at the shake weight endurance competition.

danny ocean/frank sinatra/ocean's 11

we are just starting out and we need all the help we can get :) to spend the day learning from the coolest photographers on the planet would certainly spin us in the right direction.

For the life of me I cannot guess what film this is from. But since I'd love to win I'm hoping there is a chance to enter even without the correct answer. I'm working to build my wedding photography work (currently split between commercial & wedding photography with graphic design as well) so my musician husband & I can work together more this year and he can quit his day job! Is that a good enough reason with love as a motivator to to attend a Shot Shop?

Danny Ocean / Frank Sinatra / Oceans 11 (the original)

I'm always wanting to learn more! & image is found is awesome, been following them for so many years. :)

Danny Ocean / Frank Sinatra / Oceans 11

would love to learn how these two work and create creative portraits!

Danny Ocean - Frank Sinatra - Oceans 11

1st off I was want to say thank you for this opportunity to join you at you workshop.

2nd - I think I would benefit alot from this workshop, I'm semi new to the business and love to soak up all the information that you have to offer.
This will be my second time to WPPI and last year it was a last minute decision and I went by myself. I was like a kid in a candy store butI didn't know which way to go, what to look at and buy and what classes to go to. This year I'm coming in early just to take full advantage of all that there is to learn.

Thank you again, Hope to hear from you soon.

Frank Sinatra: Oceans 11

Danny Ocean as played by Frank Sinatra in Ocean's 11

Frank Sinatra (Danny Ocean) and Patrice Wymore in Oceans 11 -- I have wanted to attend an Image is Found Shootshop for a really long time. The main reason is that it is difficult to find such amazing photographers as the Kaisers that also shoot with D700s like I do. My business is still growing and to be able to learn from someone using the exact same equipment as I do would just be incredible. I have been photographing for about 6 years now and I feel that I have taken my art to a certain point, but I need a little more guidance to take it that extra step that I feel it needs. I have been following the Kaiser blog for years now since they are hands down my favorite wedding photographers in the country not just for their style, but their lifestyle, creativity, and also because they are Nikonians like myself. I'm also a good person {so cheesy}.......please choose me!

that's gotta be sloth from the goonies. funny, i don't remember a casino scene.

I'm SUCH an idiot! I've been searching forever for the name of the cartoon character and realized you guys probably drew that on yourselves! :) I should've read the directions that I needed to tell you the person BEHIND the face. That being said, it's Frank Sinatra from Ocean's Eleven. :) Pick me, I'd simply be ecstatic!

danny ocean / frank sinatra / ocean's eleven. why should i win? cause i'm awesome?

Frank Sinatra: Oceans 11

I love you guys! I honestly have no clue where this photo is from but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to spend the day with you and learn from you!!! Fingers crossed! See you in VEGAS!

DANNY OCEAN/ (ol' blues eyes

Why me ?

Well...
"They way I figure it is like this: the ::twenty:: of us cats against this one city...?

oh. I. am. game.

I must check Image is Found's blog twice a day, and listen to their wedding sites music whenever I need to clean ( So I can boogie with a broom in my hand) I would love to hang out with these folks and really learn how to build a buisness around my passion !!!!

so please... lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor !
ie: pick me pick me !!

Thanks for the opportunity !!
JohannaRae

Danny Ocean, Frank Sinatra, Ocean's Eleven
Sign me up.

Danny Ocean / Frank Sinatra /Oceans 11
I should win because I won't be able to go to Vegas unless I do. I have always wanted to go to a shoot shop!!! Would be so fantastic to finally get the chance!!! Thanks!

Frank Sinatra as Danny Ocean in Oceans 11!

Oh thank god I figured it out. At first I thought that was Maureen O'Hara, and I was googling her with "parent trap" and "casino" and all I was getting was mugshots of Lindsey Lohan.

(fingers crossed! one of my best ladies from college will be in vegas that weekend...this & that is worth the airfare from Vermont!)

Frank Sinatra...Danny ocean....Oceans eleven

I had to cheat. I had no idea what/who this was from. So my little brother told me...
James Bond/Sean Connery/Octopussy

As a side note, I make it a rule to not cheat at anything... However, I LOVE the image is found, and I know there is no way my husband will let me go, unless we've won something to go for!!!!

in a totally non-creepy way, i freaking love you guys! i want to come to vegas mainly to go to this class and this party (screw wppi lol) your're it! i live in a tiny ass town in oregon and i need out of this place! after i saw this little contest i googled the sh*t out of all movies from the 50s & 60s and knew it had to be oceans 11 or viva las vegas so i went to my house of james facebook fanpage and asked all of the followers for help, they didnt hesitate for a second and totally helped me! so this is for them, if i win or not either way i appreciate their help so that i could at least write my comment that this is frank sinatra from oceans 11.. booya!

character: Danny Ocean
actor: Frank Sinatra
movie: Ocean's Eleven (1960)

why me?:
getting learned at a shootshop with the image is found would make me feel prettier than ms. wymore being pawed by ol' blue eyes. especially if i walk away with a key in my cleavage.

that would be a really bad illustration of danny ocean played by frank sinatra in the original ocean's eleven. like really bad. whose kid drew that? anyways, why me? i'm as awesome as the new cold war kids album, i have nothing better to do, and damn if it wouldn't be the coolest thing i'd win this year.

I'm adding a comment to my comment above...as I forgot to put WHY I should win. I was too frazzled with myself after figuring out that I wasn't supposed to name the cartoon character itself. :) Why to pick me: LIGHTING! I need. help. with. lighting. And the Kaisers are the ultimate BEST at it. :)

I totally forgot to say WHY I want to win (even though I think my answer is wrong, now that I see everyone else's comments-but I'm not afraid to stand alone). Because I need to get learned and I would love to learn from the BEST - Natelyn! They rock my socks off!

Frank Sinatra as Danny Ocean, Oceans 11 1960. I think I should win because one day want to be a supastar like Nate and Jaclyn are!I also can't think of any better way to kick off my first WPPI!

Danny Ocean played by Frank Sinatra in Ocean's Eleven (1960 version).
I want to surprise my husband with the free spot because he is an amazing and incredible husband, father and photographer and works so hard to provide for his family. We don't have enough money to send him to the Kaisers shootshop and he would be blow away to learn from them since we've been following them for years! They are our absolute our fav mentors!

Frank Sinatra / Danny Ocean / Ocean's 11

I should win, because I am just trying to get my business set up here in Vegas after having to relocate (I am a military spouse). I'm feeling a little overwhelmed having to start over and would love the chance to get out and do what I enjoy with rockin' photographers!

The man behind the mask is Frank Sinatra (aka Danny Ocean) with Angie Dickinson from the 1960 version of Ocean's 11. "He's calling a summit meeting of his own!"
I would love for my husband who is starting a photography business to have this opportunity to learn from photographers he follows and looks up to!! This is NOT for me but for my loving husband (been married 7 yrs. today)!!! This gift would blow his mind!!!! PLEASSSSEE pick my husband & photographer AARON WARDER!!! Thank You! Thank You!! Thank You!!!

Good Afternoon, I was wondering if you picked a winner yet? I'm making sure I didn't miss a post! Thank you, And have a GREAT day!!

Netflix really wants me to watch this, I guess I've been on a classic kick lately. I couldn't find this exact scene but I think its Frank Sinatra playing Danny Ocean in the old Ocean's 11. Getting me excited for Vegas!

danny ocean/ frank sinatra / oceans 11. i should win because i really did know the answer! we just watched this movie last week! but really... i should win because school sucks and i need a break and this is perfect!

OOoh I know this!!
Character ~ Danny Ocean...Actor ~ Frank Sinatra...Movie ~ Ocean's Eleven
Please let me come to your shoot-shop & party, you will be so glad you did! If you invite me I will provide hours of entertainment. I promise to be real-real fun & make everyone else feel fabulous and intelligent :) No one will regret letting me win!!! It's a win-win, really!!

Jebediah. Kingsley. And Otis the Brave.

I would choose a male shirt.

I bet you meant 3 names for either a dog, cat or fish, but I'm going to go with one of each.

Dog-Cargo (I'm not much for small frilly dogs so when I think of a dog I think of something like a lab. Sturdy, dependable, and always along for the ride.)
Cat- Brutus (As in Julius Caesar and Brutus. Can't always seem like they are plotting something to me.)
Fish- Mr. Magorium (I think if you're confined to a little glass bowl your whole life you should get a pretty awesome name.)

(oh, and I'd like the giraffe shirt if I won.)

I would like the woman's shirt!

Dog: King Louis
Cat: Garfield
Fish: Susie

Dog: Venice, Cat: Toulouse, Fish: River. Would love a woman's tee if I win. Thanks!

I don't want a shirt but I do want to brainstorm awesome pet names.

Dog: I already have names picked out for my future miniature dachshunds. It will be a pair of boy doggies--brothers--and they will be Kaiser Linus von Puppenstein and Herr Otto von Puppenstein. Now all I need is an apartment building that will let me have dogs.
Cat: I'd like one of those hairless cats so I can name her Lady Godiva and put her on the back of Linus or Otto and watch her ride naked into the sunset (obviously I would set up a sunset backdrop in my living room for just this purpose).
Fish: Fish make terrible pets. I want an exotic Japanese rooster named Cotton--because he looks like a puffy cotton ball, obviously. I would swi with him in the pool when he felt stressed, then blowdry and style his feathers afterwards. He would also have a special seat in the car--like a red velvet pillow that would elevate him so he could see out the window--and he would of course have to wear a tiny rooster-sized diaper around the house. Don't want no rooster poop on my pricey persian carpets. (Actually, that last bit? Not even I can make that shit up...start watching at 4:58...http://bit.ly/bY7UoE)

Cat: Nathan, Jr. Dog: Janet Fish: Trish

I'd like the men's if I were to win.

Dog: Midas
Cat: Phoenix
Fish: Neptune
One for all: Mika

Women's medium, if I'm the winner :)

The Love T-shirt please!
Dog- Doogie Howser
Cat- Snailsford
Fish- sluts

Dog: Winston
Cat: Miss Havisham
Fish: Bartleby
Love the woman's t-shirt

The Shirts look Awesome!!
Dog: JPEG
Cat: Boaz
Fish: Sushi
Mens shirt (L)

Dog: Gohan
Cat: G-Love
Fish - I agree with Anne but if I somehow came into owning a fish I would just call it Fish
The kids shirt please for my little man Cash

Dog: Samsonite
Cat: Chairman Meow
Fish: Herbet (you can say it with a french accent if you like)

Men's Large Please!

children's shirt.
dog: dog
cat: slut
fish: fish

Dog: Sawyer
Cat: Kate
Fish: Smoke Monster
Obviously i am a lost fan. Male xl if you like my names

I LOVE to name my pets after my favorite 90's rappers! I have a tiny boy chihuahua named, "Biggie Smallz- The Notorious D-O-G" and I have a girl chihuahua, who's caramel and chocolate brown colored and her name is, "Lil' Kim". I wish I could get one more dog, I would name him, "Biz Barkie"! ;)

In college I had a dog named Marlon Brando cause he was "the don". I have a fish named Carnie Asada cause we won him at a Mexican carnival. And my roommate's cat is named Minou but I prefer Fatso McGuillicutty.
I likea da ladies shirt. :)

dog: Agyness
cat: Bouef
fish: Cornelius

women's t-shirt please!

Dog: Penny Lane
Cat: Eleanore Rigby
Fish: Lucy
This Beatles fan MUST have the love tee of course! Mens small :)

Dog: Commissioner Gordon
Cat: Paws Scaggs
Fish: Zissou

I would love a ladies tee!

Dog: Digger
Cat: Snoozer
Fish: Snorkel

children's t-shirt

Ladies shirt puhlease.

kid t-shirt please (c'mon, Rem needs one)
Dog: Hot Dog
Cat: Ketchup
Fish: Sandwich
(all names picked out by Rem)

Cat: Reverend Al Sharpton
Women's shirt.

Considering I have one of each type of animal in question, I thought I'd share the genius of their names...

Willoughby, the French Bulldog who can be a tad snobby
Georgia Caroline, the Siamese cat who is the epitome of Southern Sass
Kolohe (which means mischievous) is my goldfish...sometimes I feed him peanut butter sandwiches

And I would LOVE one of those lovely ladies' shirts please!

Dog: Ripley
Cat: Mouse
Fish: Dr. Spaceman
Ladies shirt, pretty please, medium.

such an awesome give away! {cat} jack {dog} bentley {fish} muddy waters, would love the woman's t-shirt :)

Finkle and Einhorn for the Dog and Cat, the Fish shall be known as Gilly.

Oops. I would like any shirt. I know a cute guy and a little kid, and I am a girl so anything is cool:)

Our dog is named after the Norse God of thunder: ODIN. If we had a cat, we'd name him Zeus. And the fish : Thor.
And then we would have a jolly time exclaiming:
BY THE HAMMER OF THOR!! GREAT ODIN'S RAVEN!! BY THE BEARD OF ZEUS!!

still recovering from last year's party. can't wait for this year's. party on.

Can't wait!

badass.

seriously , Black Tie?

your interpretation of black tie (we're saying DRESS TO STUN!)

i can't wait to see what the "dressed to stun" includes. i will set my wardrobe to stun.

i think all smilebooths need hand drawn diamond eyes, playing cards, and bunny ears!

oh and dont forget the dice!

Lastly, I have said this before and will keep saying it for every related post.Don't try to hard,the best things come when you least expect them to. Don't cry because it is over,smile because it happened.

Just try to smile for about 2-3 mins then you can get back to work
