They are not kidding when they call this Labor Day weekend! They really need to rename it to Relax Weekend or something. It’s been pretty much one shoot after another these last few days.
Some of the people I have shot this weekend in Lo Bosworth, The Wolf Pack from Twilight, Carmen Electra, Will.I.Am, Teresa Giudice, Busta Rhymes and a few others. Oh and the Jefferson Starship concert.
I know, you want pictures, ok. since this whole weekend kinda ran together into one, I’m going to do the same for this blog post.
Carmen Electra turned up the heat yesterday at the Moorea Beach Club at Mandalay Bay.
“The Twilight Saga” stars Tinsel Korey, Alex Meraz and Julia Jones indulged in some sweets at the Sugar Factory in Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood on Saturday.
Friday night, Lauren “Lo” Bosworth celebrated the launch of her new website www.TheLoDown.com at Lavo
Black Eyed Peas front man will.i.am was spinning at Wet Republic giving poolside partiers a DJ set they will never forget.

… and a couple from Saturday night’s Jefferson Starship concert…
Yeah, I know I left a few out, however that’s ok since I did not even list everyone that got in front of my lens this weekend. When things calm down a little I will post more pics from this Labor Day weekend.

One thing about blogs that has always made be crazy was the fact that it was hard if not impossible to display large files in such a way that people can view the details of the image. Screen width and image theft are the two reasons most pictures are so hard to see.
As you already might know, starting with Photoshop CS3 you could export your large images to Zoomify and it would automatically tile your image, create your folders and also create your HTML code so viewers could zoom in on your image from your website.
For those of you that do not use Photoshop CS3 and newer you can still use Zoomify since they offer a free stand alone version. You can get that HERE if you need it.
However, the problem up till now has been a way to view Zoomify exports from within WordPress. This is no longer a problem.
Click on the below image to be able to zoom and pan for a closer look.
If you like this image and would like to use it, contact me at dave@daplv.com for licensing options.
By using the WordPress plugin called “Shadowbox JS” you can configure your Zoomify page to display from within WordPress as easy as cooking a TV Dinner.
You can download it here by clicking this link: http://sivel.net/wordpress/shadowbox-js/
There are other ways you can use Shadowbox JS in your WordPress site however for this post I will stick with using it to display your Zoomify pages.
Yes, I am about to tell you how to do it. Coding and all… However you will need to click continue…
Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino and PH Towers Westgate are the latest Harrah’s Entertainment hotels in Las Vegas to take a stand against resort fees. The resorts join Caesars Palace, Harrah’s Las Vegas, Paris Las Vegas, Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino, Flamingo Las Vegas, Bally’s Las Vegas and Imperial Palace as official “no resort fee zones.” The announcement was commemorated by Holly Madison, star of Holly’s World and Planet Hollywood’s “Peepshow,” in an unveiling of $12 million in cash, the amount of money spent last month on resort fees by visitors of the Las Vegas Strip.
It wasn’t really 12 million in cash, only $160,000 due us media peeps not being worth dragging the whole 12 mill out just for a photo shoot. Even so, that is still a bunch of Starbucks!
