Every now and then a photographer comes along and you can just feel they’re destined to be a leader. Meet Joe Dallas. I met Joe through Bambi Cantrell several years ago when she recommended I take a look at his work. He’s a wedding photographer out of Georgia and had some nice images and was [...]
I first met Deanna Urs at one of the conventions. Lots of photographers have the passion for the craft, but few can share it with an audience the way Deanna can. Most important of all, and this post is a prime example, there’s no place for compromise when she’s working to achieve the ultimate image. [...]
A few days ago, when I announced “Blog Fest ‘09″ I wrote the following about today’s guest:
Besides being a terrific friend, Ralph Romaguera Sr. has been one of the leaders in the school market for many years. Losing big time following the wrath of Katrina, he and his sons have worked hard to rebuild their New [...]
It’s Sunday morning and I always like to keep it simple…
Years ago, at least three lives ago while at Polaroid, the department brought in an outstanding speaker by the name of Ed Foreman. He was out of Texas and essentially was one of the pioneers in motivational programming. For whatever reason, he presented two thoughts that stuck [...]
You read about it in the Wall Street Journal. Time Magazine made it their cover story. It’s the number one topic on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and Linkedin. It’s the rage in Europe, Japan and Akron, Ohio. Blog Fest 2009 starts on Monday. The brainchild of this demented blogger, it will include a different guest blogger [...]

The response from this past summer’s attendees at Skip’s Summer School was pretty amazing. So, it makes sense to do it again. Only this time we’re adding in a lot of the great feedback and speaker requests from the post program survey. Thanks to some [...]
Several times over the last few months I’ve written about the need to take a break from business now and then. Business is anything but easy today and some times getting away for a piece of the day is just the thing you need to recharge your battery. Well, I’m guilty of too often not being [...]
If you’re looking for a star-studded opportunity to start the year out right, check out the program Walter Van Dusen’s put together in Mystic, CT January 3-5, 2010. This is year number five for the event – and coming from it’s humble beginnings of just 44 people at the first one, it’s Walter’s personal brain [...]
Scott Bourne and I “met” over twenty years ago when he submitted some work to Hasselblad, but it wasn’t until recently the friendship kicked into high gear when he spoke at Skip’s Summer School. I wrote about the connection going back to Hasselblad in an earlier post. A few days ago he wrote the blog below.

Years ago, the first time I heard Tony Corbell speak, he finished his program with a reminder to save the last frame on every roll of film and just do something completely different. While film is very definitely not dead for photographers like Joe Buissink, Elizabeth Etienne, Jonathan Canlas, Elizabeth Messina and Jose Villa, just [...]
