It’s the perfect post for a Friday – reminding you there’s an event about to talk place that you need to be a part of…Scott Kelby’s Photo Walk! 
We all have our heroes and Scott’s one of mine. Think about his contribution to the industry as a writer, publisher, artist and photographer.  Then think about the leadership skills it’s [...]

Just trust me on this: Go get a cup of coffee and then sit back and watch Kevin Kubota, Jeff Medford and Ross Hockrow (the film-makers) in action on  this video, How to Photoshop Everyone. Not only does Kevin deliver an award-winning presentation, but pay attention to the production values Ross and Jeff brought to the [...]

This is one post definitely out of the archives. In getting ready to move I was doing the usual cleaning of career memorabilia and ran across the ad we did at Hasselblad in the early 90’s, selling Ansel Adams’ 1977 Cadillac for charity. A few years later we followed up when his camera gear landed [...]

Last week, Scott Bourne ran a post on GoingPro for U.S. photographers that became the most widely read article since we started the project! It was all about buying gear, a vital component for every professional photographer. The post has such great information, I decided more photographers needed to read it and republished it here today.
In the twleve [...]

I’ve talked a lot about RETV lately, but just in case you didn’t take the hint yet, enjoy the next minute and a half watching this video. As you’re watching pay close attention to the quality of the images and the way they’re presented. This is truly a post where the images really do speak [...]

I’ve repeatedly been accused of being overly sappy when I talk about our industry being a “family”.  There are so many times I’ve seen photographers and vendors work together for a common cause. With this event you’ve got TriCoast Photography with Mike and Cody, Bob Davis, Jordan Chan and Kevin Focht all teaching together, with [...]

Last week’s post about RETV with the Albert Watson interview got some great comments, one of them from good buddy, Terry Clark, who wrote:
“Before the Internet I read five newspapers in the morning plus thumbed thru a few magazines or books on photography. Yes, it took a bit of time, usually about 90 minutes, but what a [...]

I’ve been a big fan of David Ziser’s for a lot of years. In fact, most newer photographers aren’t aware that going back to the early 90’s David and Denis Reggie did the Engaged in Excellence Tour, which to this day remains the largest attended workshop series ever presented in wedding photography. It wasn’t unusual [...]

Yesterday I suggested you put Photoshop World on your calendar for 2012. Well, here’s one more and it’s going to be absolutely amazing, especially if you’ve never been to CES or PMA. It’s PMA@CES, January 10-13!
This is a rare opportunity for professional photographers to attend the largest trade show in our industry thanks to the combined forces [...]

Over the last couple of years I’ve probably written a few dozen posts related to getting the most out of the various major trade shows and conventions.  The importance of attending goes a lot deeper than just fine-tuning your skill set.  A great show is about staying on top of technology and recharging your battery.
