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 [...]

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 [...]
With Photo Plus Expo coming up in just a few weeks, it’s the perfect time to be thinking about your goals when you attend a convention. I’ve written a lot about this before. Your time is the most valuable commodity you have and you’ll never have enough of it! How are you going to get the [...]
