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 [...]
Yesterday’s post, talking about the power of black and white, created the perfect opportunity to share this old Kodak commercial from YouTube. Although it’s at least five years old and ran in a shorter version on television a few times, I saw it for the first time in Dane Sanders’ presentation this past August at Summer School. Scott Bourne [...]
I could be wrong, but I think I just witnessed an industry first…Scott Bourne presented a slide show of spectacular images all put to music that he wrote and performed live on his synthesizer. Sure beats canned music, but how many of us have the skill set. Scott is presenting right now and there’s [...]
A little over a year ago, frustrated with the economy and spending a lot of time talking to photographers who were finding new ways to “fight the battle”, I started my own campaign: Just because the media says it’s going to be a bad year, doesn’t mean it has to be!
Well, here we are a [...]
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 [...]
Stacy Pearsall is my ninth profile in a series of photographers you should have in your network. Her program at Skip’s Summer School is on August 9. If you can join us, terrific, but regardless, she should be in your personal Who’s Who network. I can promise you, she’s got lots to share, lots to [...]
It’s Spring Fever in more ways than just cleaning off the porch furniture! It just might be the right time to do a little ”spring cleaning” on your skill set. There are a lot of programs to choose from, but here’s a suggestion. Instead of worrying about which one might be the best one to attend, try and attend [...]
No guest post for Open Forum this morning, but it’s only because I forgot I declared Monday as Open Forum and haven’t had a chance to sort out those people who responded. If you’ve got an issue you’d just like to throw out on the table, then here’s a place to vent, share or contribute. [...]
I’ve discovered, when you do a blog every day, material to write about can be found in the most obscure places, like the fortune in the cookie at Hunan’s last night:
“Don’t wait until your ship comes in. Swim out to it!”
Yes, I’ve finally reached a new point in blogging wisdom and I’m quoting fortune cookies, [...]
One year ago today I officially crossed the path of no return, resigning from Rangefinder and WPPI. It was simply time for me to move on and stop living vicariously through all of you. I’ve admired so many of you for so many years. As entrepreneurs your visions have been inspirational, especially your daily quest to be in control of your [...]
