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 [...]
Okay, I’ll apologize in advance for the rant. This is about a challenge in just about every one’s marketing efforts. It’s an easy point to understand and even easier, at least for most of you to fix… Stop showing mediocre images!
I just spent an hour looking at images in the galleries of over a dozen [...]
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 [...]
If you haven’t seen this latest video from SmugMug, take two minutes and forty-seven seconds out of your day and just watch it. Yes, it’s a SmugMugPro commercial, but there are some spectacular things to pay attention to.

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.

I liked your post on the [...]
WARNING: This is an adult post. If you’re bothered by sarcasm and use of the word “turd” please don’t read on.
We’re living in the age of instant gratification. We text, we tweet, we abbreviate. Our spelling has become absurd, phonetically attacking a conversation for the sole purpose of packing a full paragraph into just 140 [...]
We just got back from Empower Your Vision, an outstanding Album Epoca event in Riccione, Italy. While the trip was way too short, it still managed to leave me with an incredible appreciation for our industry and the universal language of photography. Three of the photographers speaking at the event were Flavio Bandiera, David Beckstead [...]
At the risk of sounding like I’m trying to do Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy from the old SNL routine, here it is this morning – the brain is an amazing thing! Deep right?
Here’s what got me going on the thought – I was looking at some websites yesterday and was a little surprised at [...]
