If you don’t know Helen Yancy or her work, then we need to find a way to help you get out more! I could be wrong, but I’m willing to bet she’s the most awarded female photographer in our industry from the portrait/social side of the business. When Helen and I first met years ago, [...]

About six years ago I met Kenny Kim for the first time. He came to a program I was doing in Cleveland with Pictage. Kenny drove over from Chicago and it was the first time we’d met. Since then, I’ve bumped into him at just about every major event in professional photography. He’s always got a big smile and his [...]
In getting ready for Summer School, I’ve talked about or run guest posts for every speaker except me. Seems kind of funny to do a profile, but if nothing else, this will give you a chance to get a feel for what I’ll be talking about in my marketing workshop on Wednesday morning at Summer School.

I had to fly out to Vegas on Friday night for last minute meetings with the staff at the Mirage. It was quite a trip, pulling up to the hotel about 10:30 pm. Vegas never leaves you wondering about what the rest of the world does for excitement. We got out of the car and [...]

“Great brands don’t chase customers; customers chase great brands.”
Terry then went on to write about his own business: “Not sure how / if that applies to what I’m experiencing but I like it. To me it [...]
Ever had a day when your to-do list looks like the breakfast scramble from a New Jersey diner. It’s a little bit of everything with no real focus except breakfast! Well, that’s the best analogy for this morning’s post!
This is one of those weeks where travel, projects and life in general have me going in eight [...]

I look at dozens of websites every week. So often I’m seeing galleries that wouldn’t pass Scott’s “page seven test”. [...]
Great photography is about passion, not just for the craft itself, but for life, friends and the human spirit. It’s also about positive energy and good old enthusiasm!
Since meeting Catherine Hall at WPPI a few years back, I’ve never seen her when she wasn’t passionate about our industry. She was the second annual WPPI [...]
