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 [...]
We just got back from Empower Your Vision, an outstanding Album Epoca event in Riccione, Italy. While the trip was way too short, it still managed to leave me with an incredible appreciation for our industry and the universal language of photography. Three of the photographers speaking at the event were Flavio Bandiera, David Beckstead [...]
Last week’s post about RETV with the Albert Watson interview got some great comments, one of them from good buddy, Terry Clark, who wrote:
“Before the Internet I read five newspapers in the morning plus thumbed thru a few magazines or books on photography. Yes, it took a bit of time, usually about 90 minutes, but what a [...]
This post might be almost two years old, but great ideas never age! The challenge is how to make yourself stand out, but don’t forget the basics first. If you don’t know what you’re doing with a camera in your hands, then all the marketing in the world can’t fix bad images! Concentrate on the [...]
One of the chapters Tony and I share in our careers is working together at Hasselblad. I hired Tony out of Brooks Institute to come to New Jersey as the first Dean of Education for Hasselblad University. I still consider talking Tony into giving up his view of the Ocean and mountain side in Santa Barbara for [...]
Projects like Summer School don’t happen without incredible support from lots of different people. Every year I feel like I write pretty much the same thing…I thank the speakers, then everyone who helped make it possible and the vendors, then I move to a few isolated individuals. Along the way I probably offend somebody I miss. This [...]
After every convention, workshop or trade show you attend everyone is always left with a level of optimism and energy to make changes in their technique, marketing, management style and grow their business. But, there’s always the challenge of getting sucked back into your daily routine and within a few days your energy and spirit [...]
Two weeks from today on August 2, eight photographers are going to be teaching two hour workshops at Summer School, most of them on lighting. Reflected light is so often either misunderstood or just plain missed.
I’ve seen Bambi Cantrell pop in a little extra light with the back of a poster board sign. Joe Buissink [...]
Next week I’ll get things back to focusing on the “how to” aspect of photography, kicking off the week with a great guest post from Catherine Hall. However, for now I’m left with absolutely nothing pressing to write about this morning! That’s happened, at best, maybe three times in the last two years!
So that puts me in [...]
For a year and a half I’ve talked with buddy and business partner, Scott Bourne several times a week. We founded GoingPro together, then PWSPI and he’s been a key part of Summer School starting with the very first program in 2009. At that time he had just 24,000 followers on Twitter. This week he [...]
