This past week Skip’s Summer School 2010 launched. The response has been pretty amazing, but it’s time I cleared up the myth that comes with everyone thanking me for putting this crazy wonderful thing together. The truth is, while it’s got my name on it, I couldn’t do it without support from all the sponsors, [...]
After all these years in the photographic industry I’ve got an amazing collection of prints. One my favorties is Steve McCurry’s Afghan Girl. It’s an amazing image and long before I met Steve, I always thought of it as one of the most incredible portraits ever captured.
If you know Steve or have heard him speak, [...]
I know it’s going to seem like a series of infommercials, but that’s the kind of morning it is – so here are a few cool reminders to think about.
1) Registration for Skip’s Summer School will hopefully open the end of this week. Things kick off on Sunday afternoon, August 8 at 3:30 with a sneak [...]
It’s just a quickie for a Sunday morning. Sheila was on her cell phone this morning with her brother, Randy, when they lost the signal and the conversation ended. Like all of us used to being disconnected, she went to the window, looked for the 300 guys from the Verizon commercial ready to back her up [...]
I’ve never been a big fan of motivational books, but Sheila works in HR at Akron Children’s Hospital and she’s got the full set of just about everything www.walkthetalk.com publishes. One of the books I was looking at is called, The Leadership Secrets of Santa Claus. There are a group of great authors involved, but it’s [...]
It’s ironic that my most favorite blog of the week has become the simplicity of Sunday mornings, a time when a lot of people don’t even bother to blog, because “traffic” is low. However, those of you who know me, know this blog is a labor of love and Sunday’s are pretty special. There’s nothing really [...]
Moving? Yuck…sorry, it’s an expression used by six year olds who hate eating vegetables, but it sure applies. We’re only moving 1.4 miles away, but that doesn’t change the work involved. Years ago I read, “moving is the second highest stress producing situation, second only to death of a loved one!” Moving challenges every aspect of a [...]
The Gardens of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo – S. Cohen
In the process of moving, the items having the most value to me are all my photographs. I’m not just talking about the prints that are hanging on the walls, but the boxes of photographs, the disks of images and the albums of memories. They’ll [...]
I’m in Nashville for the DWF convention and IUSA. My day is starting with breakfast with friends, followed by walking the trade show and finishing with a presentation on marketing I’m doing for DWF. What I can’t describe right now is the anticipation of catching up to old friends and finally meeting so many people [...]
“If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person’s life in a positive light, and that’s what I want to do. That’s what it’s all about.”
It’s a great quote, but when you realize who said the words they border on being meaningless. In [...]
