I’ve had a number of conversations with photographers over the last couple of weeks about down time projects. Here’s the idea – for most professional photographers, this is the slowest season of the year.

The last two weeks we’ve been working on changing the content direction for Skip’s Photo Network. If you’ve followed the change you’ve seen posts from Clay Blackmore, David Ziser, Scott Bourne, Jared Platt, Doug Gordon and yesterday, Matthew Jordan Smith.

Circle February 15 on your calendar! At 1:00 pm EST, working together with the team at X-Rite, we’ll be hosting our first free webinar.

A couple of months ago, good buddy Matthew Jordan Smith ran a post about a recent trip to Sedona. In the post that follows he talked about having a number of different cameras with him. Reading that blog and knowing that we’re in the heat of first quarter trade show season, brings up the fact [...]
