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 [...]
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 [...]
I’m going to stray off the usual format path this morning with a couple of great links and even a moment of wisdom thanks to good buddy, Nick Vedros. In fact, let’s start with Nick who sent me the following last night:
From the Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity:

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.

In fact, I’ve found great videos on just about everybody, with the exception of Jules Bianchi and her sister Joy Bianchi Brown and Roberto Valenzuela, but both of them did a couple of terrific guest posts.

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 [...]
Last fall, and I’m embarrassed it was for the first time, I was able to watch Doug Gordon’s entire three hour presentation here in Akron. In the past it was always during my WPPI days and I was being pulled in a dozen different directions, so the chance to actually sit and listen for any [...]
Okay, it’s a loaded question, but in this case it’s happening because Akron Children’s Hospital is about to open an Expressive Therapy Center and the most recent donation from the Akron Photo Series (APS) is going directly to help them! (scroll down on the link and see if you recognize anybody!) Expressive Therapy is all [...]
This morning the United States Department of Attitude released their annual report on professional photography. It’s incredible to see that things have completely turned around with the economy as well. Photography was listed as the most lucrative career field in the U.S. National advertising and promotional statistics showed photography as the only career choice where [...]
