Working on an article for an upcoming issue of PMA Magazine, I had a conversation with DIMA guest speaker, Georgia McCabe the other day.  Georgia is doing a four part bootcamp on social media on January 9 in Las Vegas as part of the DIMA Conference and this year’s PMA show.    After talking to her, I plan on being in [...]

 Last Friday I mentioned one of our most favorite prints, Cranes in the Fire Mist.  Well, it’s a great story by Scott Bourne, my partner in the GoingPro Project and one of my very best friends.  So, often we all have a vision, an idea and then one day it’s gone. We’ve given up on [...]

As much as I try to not get too commercial, there are some pretty remarkable programs going on right now and you need to know about them. I’ll keep it short and not oversell, but here are two that I want to share with you.

Cyber Monday Over At Kubota Image Tools
Yes, Kevin Kubota is a [...]

I used to post seven days a week and realized I was simply burning out. So, after thinking about it, I decided traffic on most blogs is slow on the weekends and I’d get back to just five days a week.  This morning I woke up and realized I miss the Sunday morning banter.  So, I’m back [...]

Okay, there is absolutely no connection between any thoughts this morning, but I guess that fits with the day after Thanksgiving, which is so random anyway.

I hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving. For us it was truly remarkable. Had my folks here, which was a key reason to move to Sarasota in the first place, [...]

A three day feast with about 50 colonists and 90 native Americans, the first Thanksgiving in 1621 didn’t include mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie or cranberries.  Deer, rabbit and squash graced the table, and historians believe that lobster, seal and swan may have been served as well. While fowl was on the menu, the bird of [...]

As much as this might sound like an infomercial, it’s also meant to get you thinking about every program you attend. Time will always be your most precious commodity and it’s imperative, especially when you’re attending a major convention, that you always get the very most bang for your buck.

Last week, after being overseas and forgetting it was Veteran’s Day, I wrote a post about it and tied it in with a photograph of my Dad in ‘43, just before he left for the Pacific in WWII.  The next day, I got the following email from good buddy, Brian Casey.
I liked your post on the [...]

We’re living in the age of instant gratification. We text, we tweet, we abbreviate. Our spelling has become absurd, phonetically attacking a conversation for the sole purpose of packing a full paragraph into just 140 [...]

Yesterday I got an email from Bob Bell at United Funding.  I’ve never met Bob, nor do I have any kind of relationship with his company. I got the letter because I’m on the attendee list from last year’s Imaging USA show.  What Bob didn’t know when he sent it out was how timely his [...]
