The older I get the more I seem surprised at some really basic ideas. Here’s one that’s on my mind this morning. You need somebody to believe in you in order to believe in yourself. I know it might go against the grain of the concept of just having self-confidence, but it’s so much easier [...]
After a great few days in NYC and PhotoPlus I met Sheila in Sarasota yesterday afternoon and now we’ve got three days with my folks and Dad’s birthday on Sunday. My cell phone is off, email is off base for the next few days and the only thing I’m going to do is the blog.
I’m [...]
Between Bootcamp and Summer School last August, I’m finding my biggest inspiration lately is coming from the “newbies”. For all practical purposes let’s define a “newbie” as any photographer who’s been shooting for two years or less. They’re not necessarily young, just new to the industry and passionate about photography.

I know it’s not a new topic, but there are only a few times a year when I feel this way. I’m in New York for Photo Plus Expo. The show actually starts this morning, but yesterday I had some time and got over to Javits Convention Center. During setup I probably bumped into at [...]
Last Saturday night I caught up to good buddy Tony Corbell. We’ve been friends since the late 80’s when Tony was working with Dean Collins. While we talk a good game and always try and get some time to catch up at the various conventions, we’re always so busy and it often never happens. But here’s the amazing [...]

However, the sentiment and point are still relevant. So, it’s a Sunday Morning Reflection on a Tuesday with one of my most [...]
Can’t do anything when the system is simply down! Back as soon as they get things fixed.
It’s Sunday morning and in a couple of hours we’re going to launch the first ever GoingPro Bootcamp. I’ve already met a few of the attendees and love the enthusiasm, optimism and even their understandable frustration. These are people who are passionate about starting a new business and they just haven’t had a resource to [...]
No matter how old you are there’s always something in your life that just clicks with that same excitement as the holidays in December. For me it’s this next week and catching up to friends I haven’t seen in a while, photographers joining us at Bootcamp this Sunday and all of the exhibitors at PhotoPlus [...]
I try and write my blog every morning fresh. Rarely do I have anything in the pipeline, but a few ideas. This morning, I’m not suffering from writer’s block, but enjoying the fact that I’ve really written about everything I wanted to over the last two weeks. I’ve talked about being a speaker, getting published [...]
