We at abouttheimage send our best wishes and congratulations to Nancy Wolff, great friend to anyone in the photography business and an exceptional attorney, on the news that the American Society of Picture Professionals (ASPP) has named her Picture Professional of the Year for 2007. 
On September 26 in Chicago and September 27 in Minneapolis, Nancy Wolff, legal counsel to the Picture Archive Council of America and an expert in copyright law, especially as it pertains to photography, will be the featured guest speaker at the Midwest chapter meetings of the American Society of Picture Professionals (ASPP.) Wolff will address the theme for the meetings, “Laying Down the Law: What Every Picture Professional Needs to Know.” 
PictureHouse will hold its second annual picture buyers event in Chicago on April 12, beginning at noon. The event met with great success last year, when it coincided with the Annual Meeting of the Picture Archive Council of America (PACA,) also held in Chicago. This year, PictureHouse takes place on the same day as, and directly across the street from, the Annual Conference of the American Society of Picture Professionals (ASPP.) Chicago area picture buyers should consider attending both events. The ASPP Conference, a morning event, offers panel discussions on digital image standards and “the changing image of the picture licensing business.” The PictureHouse trade show never disappoints in providing image buyers with a chance to meet new and old image suppliers and see the wide range of image sources available to them.
Each year the American Society of Picture Professionals (ASPP) selects one person in the industry to receive its Picture Professional of the Year award. For 2006 ASPP has selected Niki Barrie who has also served the organization as the editor of the organizations quarterly publication, The Picture Professional since 1992.
