Yesterday’s post has me focused on the more absurd things people have said to speakers at various programs. I always like to keep it light on Sunday mornings, so this one is priceless.
Dean Collins once had a troll yell out at a program, “Hey Dean, sure your pictures look great, you only take pictures of beautiful women! [...]
At so many seminars and shows over the years I’ve heard photographers say to the guest speaker, “Sure you can take a great shot, look at all the gear you have!”
Years ago in the Hasselblad booth at one of the shows, we had a photographer come up after Denis Reggie spoke and insist we give [...]
Years ago the only way we had to reach consumers was through the post office. Then, along came Cyberspace and email. Suddenly email was the cure-all and billed as the snake oil of the 21st century for large scale communicating. For virutally zero cost you could contact thousands of people.

Sunday morning continues to be a great time to be a little reflective. My post the other day, about what a small industry we are, got me thinking about all the paths that cross in our lives. I made a comment last week about the importance of being careful of what you say and who you say it [...]
I know Blogs are meant to be short thoughts and ideas, but every now and then you hit on something that’s got so much meat to it, you can’t do it in just one post. Continuing on yesterday’s theme, let’s expand the list on things you need to consider when you’re about to start the [...]
