I’ve written a lot about things that make this industry so special – well, one of them is the way everybody watches each other’s backs.  Incredible friendships develop and it all starts with every one’s mutual love for the craft! 
At the end of last week I got a call from Vicki Taufer.  After a lot [...]

Last year Nicole Wolf did a couple of guest blogs that were tremendous.  She was willing to do another, but not until I read what she sent did I realize the importance of her journey.  This is a relatively long blog, technically too long for the normal blog post, but there’s no way I wanted [...]

From the beginning of these profiles I’ve been suggesting each of these photographers should be in your “network”. You need to stay on top of what they’re doing.  You need to catch their ideas for making business stronger and for helping you to focus, not on your subjects but on you – your goals and strategy [...]

“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 [...]

Now I need a little help from you – I’m [...]

This week has been pretty incredible…it started with the electricity in the air at DWF’s convention.  Lots of energy, optimism, friendships and good solid education and finished with Imaging USA – for the first time that I can remember, an outstanding show, packed with people, old friends and again the energy of people coming together [...]

Yesterday’s post from Jay Lawrence Goldman brought out a familiar theme, diversity.  
A few months back Calvin Hayes sent me some images he captured of sushi for a client who owned a restaurant.  Eddie Tapp had a remarkable series of architectural images in one of the trade magazines a short time ago.  Kay Eskridge did a [...]
