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 [...]
Michael ONeill sent me this guest post before the WPPI convention and I didn’t have a chance to really read it all until I got back. Michael pretty much nailed it, especially when he talks about coming home overwhelmed with how much you learned. It’s almost a sequel to Scott Bourne’s guest spot last week on [...]
It’s Sunday and I’m in Las Vegas heading home this afternoon. We came in for an amazing launch of Album Inc’s new Epoca albums. Great products introduced as only the Cardello’s could pull together. The event was attended by some of the best known photographers in our industry and it got me thinking about the passion we [...]
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 [...]
Between Bootcamp and Summer School last August, I’m finding my biggest inspiration lately is coming from the “newbies”. For all practical purposes let’s define a “newbie” as any photographer who’s been shooting for two years or less. They’re not necessarily young, just new to the industry and passionate about photography.
I know there are a lot [...]
The movie was Field of Dreams for the quote and we’re going to take a shot at “building it”.
Here’s the challenge: There are a minimal number of speakers who come to Ohio, yet we’re in an area with thousands of photographers, being only a couple of hours from Detroit and Pittsburgh, a half an hour [...]
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 [...]
In just under three weeks a whole bunch of us are going to show up in Vegas for three days of intense creativity, networking, solution solving and most important of all recharging our batteries before the fourth quarter!
If you’re still on the fence about going, it’s time to make the decision and join us! Here are [...]
I’ve said it every day, with each new profile. If you can be with us at Skip’s Summer School, terrific, but regardless, each of the photographers I’m profiling should be in your network. You need to follow their blogs, their teaching schedules, their tweets – anything that will help you grow, because every one of [...]
Lots of people can be outstanding photographers. Lots of people can teach photography, work flow, technique and marketing, but how many can actually design and create tools to helps us all be more creative, while at the same time maintain a solid focus on humanity? Kevin continues to do it all. Nobody could have been prouder then [...]
