A lot of you have already been to one convention or workshop already this year, but there’s a great moment in one of my all time favorite movies, City Slickers. (Definitely go rent it this weekend – you’ll pick up a few great laughs and even a few great lessons in life!)
Try this sage advice [...]
Coming off of two great conventions last week, DWF and IUSA, it’s a great time to think about how to build your network. There are still people who think a good stack of business cards is all you need! Sorry gang, if you’re just collecting cards that doesn’t cut it any more. I’m not sure [...]
Mystic 5 kicks off January 3 and while I know it’s late for people to make plans for an event two weeks away, at least if you’re in New England, this is one not to miss. Over three days you’ve got a chance to pick up programs with Jerry Ghionis, Joe McNally, David Williams, John [...]
A few days ago, when I announced “Blog Fest ‘09″ I wrote the following about today’s guest:
Besides being a terrific friend, Ralph Romaguera Sr. has been one of the leaders in the school market for many years. Losing big time following the wrath of Katrina, he and his sons have worked hard to rebuild their New [...]

The response from this past summer’s attendees at Skip’s Summer School was pretty amazing. So, it makes sense to do it again. Only this time we’re adding in a lot of the great feedback and speaker requests from the post program survey. Thanks to some [...]

Twenty two years ago I attended my first Photo East, now known as PhotoPlus Expo. Hasselblad had a 10×10 booth, as just about everybody did. The show was the dream child of Carl Pugh and became the launching pad for so many concepts in trade show management, marketing, speaking venues etc.
It [...]
In previous lives, I constantly received requests from people who wanted to be a speaker at a convention or at a Hasselblad sponsored program. Most of the conventions coming up have their platforms already in place, but if you’ve got a burning passion to be on the lecture circuit, here’s a great check-off list to consider.
1. Have you spoken [...]
I’m literally on a Speaker’s conference call with the Pictage crew as I write this. I mentioned Pictage Partner Conference in an earlier post. What blew me away just now is they’re coming up on 300 photographers already registered. Here’s what you need to know – Pictage caps it off at 500. So, if you’re considering going, then [...]
Now that I’m independent and far more objective about our industry, it’s time to address an issue that’s driven me nuts for way too long…the challenge of photographers getting caught in the battle over which photographic association to belong. I won’t deny for a second, for me to be writing about this is bizarre. In my previous [...]
