Every now and then something happens to remind me just how special social media really is. There’s no real point this morning, just a fun reminder to keep track of your friends.
I got a call from an old buddy yesterday, Mike LeBlanc. We spent a lot of time together when we were both at Polaroid in [...]
Earlier in the week, this post first appeared at our blog for GoingPro, but I’ve gotten such great feedback it makes sense to post it here as well. Just remember one thing when launching any new project or business – take your time and do it one step at a time. You can’t rush perfection!
Last [...]
Okay, so all we did was change our Facebook status from engaged to married yesterday and that set off a barrage of congratulatory emails that was simply overwhelming. Neither of us know how to truly thank everybody for their good wishes, funny comments and especially the big curiosity question of who was the photographer!
If nothing [...]
Whether you’re headed to Skip’s Summer School or not, this year’s instructors are some of the very best in the industry. If you can join us in August, terrific, but if you can’t, you really should follow each of these fifteen photographic icons on Twitter, their blogs, websites and Facebook. Each one is making a contribution to our industry [...]
I’m probably going to be criticized for running a blog a second time, but first, it’s one of my favorites and second, it’s one of the most important blogs I’ve written. This was first published last September, but it’s even more relevant today!
As business slowly starts to improve, you’ve got to stay focused on more than just [...]
The summer may seem like it’s a long way off, but if you look back at how fast this first quarter has gone by, it’s really just around the corner and here’s the challenge. What are you going to need to recharge your battery just before the fall rush? Even more important, what will you want [...]
“We tweet, we text, we e-mail. Everybody’s chatting, but is anybody listening? Why America needs to revive the vanishing art of conversation. We need to talk.”
It was the headline of a story by David Dudley in the AARP Magazine this month and yes, I admit to reading AARP and damn proud of being old enough [...]
I’m not sure if this morning’s blog is dedicated to those who went to WPPI or those who didn’t, but here a few ideas following the convention.
For those who are just getting home from WPPI…you just spent the last week having every nerve-ending tweaked! Your NN, (Network Nerve) has been totally over-stimulated with all the [...]
Ever notice how many people you know in the industry, but never get a chance to really spend some time with and actually have a conversation? Meet Mark Lutz, who while we’ve sort of known each other for years, it wasn’t until the DWF convention in Nashville in January that we actually had a chance [...]
I know some time before Facebook, before Twitter, before email, blogging and the Internet, I actually had a life. It wasn’t too different from The Brady Bunch minus Alice and just two of the kids. Yeah, I’m dating myself a little, but just look back at how your life has changed in the last ten years!
The Internet changed [...]
