Remind me to share some great stories about our health care system and how I spent the last week in two cities dealing with a less than co-operative gall bladder.  I had a few “drafts” in my back up file, so thanks to my good buddy, Scott Bourne, the blog stayed alive with some good material.    [...]

Skip’s away today so I get to play. Normally, Skip and I talk about the business of photography over at GoingPro2010.com. If you haven’t seen that site, please check it out. Here at Skip’s Photo Network, Skip usually keeps the focus on networking. So today, I’ll share a few thoughts on [...]

It’s Thursday and I’m declaring it “Go Have Some Fun With a Buddy Day.”  I doubt that Hallmark is going to pick up on this and come up with a card, but for me it’s off to check up on an old friend who had medical problems. Today he becomes my excuse to pick up [...]

I’ve always been amazed at how many photographers have no idea, until they do their taxes, if they had a good year or a bad year.  I’m not about to declare myself an accountant and tell you what benchmarks to look for, that’s Jerry Weiner’s job at the upcoming Summer School – but there are [...]

A photographer named Kate sent me a question…
“I can’t imagine that a bride would want to hire me for her special day with little to no wedding experience. I don’t have any friends who are engaged who I can use as guinea pigs. What do you suggest I do?”
Great question Kate and you’re right, but [...]

Last year Nicole Wolf did a couple of guest blogs that were tremendous.  She was willing to do another, but not until I read what she sent did I realize the importance of her journey.  This is a relatively long blog, technically too long for the normal blog post, but there’s no way I wanted [...]

I like to keep it light on Sundays…No, I don’t – I just like to keep it short and to the point. So, here it is for this beautiful Sunday morning.
I’m back down in Florida again dealing with some family health challenges with my folks. My Dad keeps telling me how he’s never seen me [...]

It’s Saturday and for me, definitely a day to work on another chapter of GoingPro with the manuscript due in NY in mid July.   As I was working last night I’m wondering how many of you have had a chance to check it out.  Last week we announced the blog has crossed the quarter million [...]

I’ve received a lot of nice comments lately about various projects I’m involved with, (GoingPro, Skip’s Summer School, GhostRighters) and I started to realize something.  It’s easy to do something well, or at least appear to do it well, if you love what you’re doing and enjoy the people you’re working with.  
For me it’s the passion I have for [...]

Ever had a feeling maybe you were doing the wrong thing?  Everything seems logical in your mind.  All the reasoning behind a particular decision support what you’re about to do.  You’ve bounced the idea off of a few friends and they liked it.  Yet, there’s something nagging in the back of your brain, whispering, “Are you [...]
