My good buddy, Scott Bourne, posted this a long time back, but it’s so relevant. While creativity itself isn’t so much a learned trait, learning to open your mind and just enjoy the freedom of being an artist can definitely be enhanced. This is about allowing yourself to just be inspired, because it’s the only [...]

When David Ziser ran the post we shared with you yesterday, he ran a follow-up addressing the rebuttal a short time later. I love the way David always presents any issue and this Part II expansion of the topic just demonstrates one more reason you should have him on your radar.  Digital Pro Talk should [...]

Good buddy, David Ziser, has been kind enough to share a few of his best posts with us and this one, like all of his posts, is another top-shelf presentation.  It might be from last year, but that doesn’t make the topic any less relevant.
As a combination of the tough economy and advances in [...]

David Ziser has shared a lot of posts with us, each one hopefully taking you in a slightly different and positive direction in your thought process.  While I love his “how to” posts, so many of his business pieces are dead on and can have an even greater impact.   What good is working hard to [...]

 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 [...]

Most of the time, posts from good buddy, David Ziser, involve techniques to help you create great images. David is one of the finest photographers in the country, an outstanding instructor, writer and artist.  Recently I read an older post of his that hits on helping you develop a stronger more positive mindset as a photographer.  I [...]

There’s been a lot written about things you can do to build your business. I’ve written about it, we’ve written about it on GoingPro and recently I ran across this post on Photofocus by my good buddy, Scott Bourne.  We live in an instant fulfillment society with too many photographers wanting it all right now. Wanting [...]

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. [...]

Every time I read Bruce Berg’s posts, I learn something new. Earlier in the year I shared a post of Bruce’s about a 27 year old children’s promotion supported by three different photographers in Oregon.  In any other market these three studios would all be competing, but instead they work together each year.  They create an [...]

Last week Scott Bourne wrote a pretty remarkable post on GoingPro. It’s received such great feedback I wanted to share it here on my blog.  If you don’t already follow Scott and me, along with a few terrific guests now and then, check out GoingPro. 
Scott’s point is about attitude and the need for photographers to work together. I’ve seen so [...]
