This past week Skip’s Summer School 2010 launched.   The response has been pretty amazing, but it’s time I cleared up the myth that comes with everyone thanking me for putting this crazy wonderful thing together.  The truth is, while it’s got my name on it, I couldn’t do it without support from all the sponsors, the speakers and a ton of very special friends.  Even more important are all of you who attend events like this and help us all stay on our toes in understanding the changes taking place in the market place.

So, the next time you go to thank me, one of your favorite vendors or any one of your iconic heroes – give yourself a big pat on the back!  Without photographers like you, who are motivated and constantly pushing the envelope of creativity, our industry would be boring and completely lack substance.

It’s not much of a blog this morning, but no words were ever more from the heart when I thank all of you who have supported this blog, Summer School and our industry.  If you’re not having the time of your life right now, even with the frustrations of the economy, then you’re doing something wrong – the good news is there are a whole bunch of us here to help!

Safe travels to everyone headed to WPPI – for that matter anybody headed any place and again,

Thank YOU!!!
