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 [...]

This week I wrote a post for GoingPro about making mistakes that will run some time over the next week or so. What prompted the post was listening to the panic-stricken voice of an aspiring professional photographer as he went through the “what if” reasons for not being ready to go pro, even though his work [...]

Okay, so the idea for today’s post came from a garden hose. I was at Home Depot and needed a 50 foot garden hose, no big deal right?  I bought the cheapest one they had. Unfortunately it kinks every time you move it in any direction but a straight line and then you have to [...]

It’s New Year’s eve morning and while I’ve gotten away from posts on the weekend, I’d be totally off the mark if I didn’t wish all of you a happy and healthy new year.  My wishes for all of you run so much deeper though.
So often a photographer, especially a young aspiring professional, has thanked [...]

I can’t walk down Memory Lane without a big thanks to a relatively new friend who’s only been in my life for a couple of years. Meet Terry Clark, a photographer from PA who bid on my help in a Thirst Relief auction two years ago. I drove over to his studio for the day, and [...]

Running yesterday’s post brought me full circle in encore presentations, and it got me thinking about some of my favorite posts.  While it might seem that I’m taking the lazy way out this week, trying to pick your favorite post is really a daunting task. So, I’ve decided I’m going to pick two favorites, one [...]

I actually published this last year on Christmas Eve, but so few people saw it. So this year, I thought I’d go a few days earlier and because I’m so proud of my ability to get everything to rhyme I’m dusting it off and bringing it back. I realize I’ve got no chance to be [...]

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 [...]

A few weeks ago I wrote the following post for GoingPro. Well, it’s four weeks later and the year is rapidly coming to a close, but what’s really important is what you’re doing to get ready for 2012.  Don’t accept that “it’s already December, I’m just not going to have time with the holidays to [...]

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, [...]
