I wrote this post a long time ago and even ran it as an encore once, but as time goes on it seems to get more relevant. So, I wanted to add a couple more images and while I don’t normally post on the weekends, today is Mother’s Day. I guess I’m writing it this [...]

WARNING:  It’s a Monday morning rant…
I accept that we live in an instant gratification world. I accept that Twitter has changed the way we spell. I’ll even accept the gr8 words U can cre8 to cram a full paragraph of thought in2 140 characters.
However, what I refuse to give up is my belief that nothing [...]

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.
First, listen to what Trey Ratcliff, Jim Garner, Kevin Winzeler and Sandy Puc are each saying about their [...]

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 [...]

Yesterday I ran the following post as a Sunday Morning Reflection. Since Sunday is such a slow blog post day and I didn’t have access to some of the images I wanted to run with the post, I decided to run it this morning and include three of Bob Coates’ images along with it.
I [...]

Last week, after being overseas and forgetting it was Veteran’s Day, I wrote a post about it and tied it in with a photograph of my Dad in ‘43, just before he left for the Pacific in WWII.  The next day, I got the following email from good buddy, Brian Casey.
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 [...]
