At GoingPro Bootcamp last month photographic artist, Michele Celentano, joined us for the day. Over and over again she hit on so many points that were invaluable to aspiring professional photographers. But there’s something interesting in our industry about new photographers – they’re often dealing with exactly the same challenges as seasoned professionals. In fact, [...]
Lately I feel like I’m trapped in an old Jimmy Stewart movie and the hands of the clock are spinning. Time is literally flying by and projects I wanted to be finished with already are barely started. Julieanne Kost, in regards to asking her to be involved in a project we were working on, once [...]
I originally wrote this post a short time back for GoingPro, but here’s why I’d like to share it with you here today.
Yesterday I had a great conversation with a photographer who’s about to go full time. Her work is terrific, her website, while it needs a little fine-tuning is all in place and [...]
I recently saw an email blast from my buddy, George Varanakis at Rangefinder/WPPI. He listed the top ten reasons not to miss WPPI. Personally, I’d drop a few and add a few, one of them being your ability to interact with vendor after vendor to help strengthen your business. I’d also add, one trip to Vegas gets you exposed [...]

There are way too many people running around with great ideas and terrific dreams who are just afraid to [...]

This post ran a few days ago on GoingPro. It’s got so much content and deserves to be shared more than usual for a few different reasons.
First, it’s a great idea and demonstrates just how much a photographer can push the edge of the envelope, especially when it comes to new directions. Second, there’s a second [...]
At WPPI last week an old friend commented to me, “Wow, you’ve really reinvented yourself!” It’s funny, but I don’t see it as a reinvention, as much I’m just doing all the things I’ve always loved doing and believe in, especially education.
Summer School went live two weeks ago and it’s hard to believe this far in [...]
