This week Bambi Cantrell, in her all day workshop as part of the Akron Photo Series, showed some of her images from other projects. Her scenic and fine art images are as spectacular as her best known wedding images, family and children’s portraits. 
Well, looking at some of David Ziser’s work over the years I found [...]

At WPPI last week an old friend commented to me, “Wow, you’ve really reinvented yourself!”  It’s funny, but I don’t see it as a reinvention, as much I’m just doing all the things I’ve always loved doing and believe in, especially education.  

Summer School went live two weeks ago and it’s hard to believe this far in [...]

WARNING – This is definitely an infomercial!
If you’re anywhere near Akron, Ohio we’ve got a block buster program on Monday night, February 28 with Bambi Cantrell. Bambi does a terrific program and is the winter lead-off speaker for the Akron Photo Series. Over the next few months, following Bambi, we’ve got Jasmine Star, Eddie Tapp [...]

Okay, it’s an infommercial and I apologize, but you can’t blame me for being excited about this stuff! There are now four great programs in the pipeline and registration has been pretty amazing for all of them. The Akron Photo Series is bringing some great talent to the midwest and I’m hoping with these upcoming [...]

I found this terrific little clip on YouTube of Bambi doing a few fast posing tips – lots of information in less than two minutes! You’re going to be pleasantly surprised at how much you’ll learn in either of the two programs on February 28 and March 1!

Just a couple of quick announcements on the [...]

TGIS! I love Saturdays in the winter time. When I was a kid, the Mickey Mouse Club used to have one day of the week that was called “Anything – Can – Happen Day”. Why I still remember that, when I can’t remember what I had for dinner yesterday is one of the miracles of [...]

Last November, for the first time in all the years I’ve known Doug Gordon, I was finally able to attend one of his workshops from start to finish with nobody pulling me out for a convention crisis. It was all part of the Akron Photo Series and Doug quite simply blew me away. During his [...]

Every now and then there’s a blog that’s the equivalent of the monster buffet at Mandalay Bay - no theme, just a lot of great stuff! Hey, you have your secrets and I have mine – there’s more meat on this breakfast buffet than anyone should ever try and consume! (And if “Three Buffet Brian” is reading this, Mandalay Bay [...]

On November 9th Doug Gordon added his expertise to the star-studded faculty of the Akron Photo Series.  I’ve known Doug for years, but never had the opportunity to attend his program. In fact, all I ever saw was the first five minutes, before I always being pulled out for something else going on at the convention.  But [...]

Later this week I’ve got a short meeting at Akron Children’s Hospital. The subject: I’m handing Sara Lundenberger a check from our second Akron Photo Series program for $2000.   This second round is all thanks to Doug Gordon last week, but the kids at the hospital aren’t the only ones to benefit.  Every photographer who joined us [...]
