One of the reasons Scott Bourne and I are such good friends is the way we both think about the industry, especially the challenges photographers deal with outside the obvious of the economy and changing technology. Through GoingPro we’ve talked with thousands of photographers and the common denominator isn’t always the fact that they’re new and just [...]

Yesterday I was making some changes in my presentation for next weekend’s PhotoPro Expo show and I started to feel just plain rushed. For a minute or two I had sort of an out of body experience, feeling like I was trapped in an old Jimmy Stewart movie and to pass the time they just [...]

As much as I try to not get too commercial, there are some pretty remarkable programs going on right now and you need to know about them. I’ll keep it short and not oversell, but here are two that I want to share with you.

Cyber Monday Over At Kubota Image Tools
Yes, Kevin Kubota is a [...]

A short time back I wrote this post for GoingPro, but it’s so relevant.  You’re capturing images all the time as a career path, but what about those moments when you’re not directly working with a client? Never be without a camera!

For some of you your cell phone will suffice, but for many, me included, my [...]

This post ran a few days ago on GoingPro. It’s got so much content and deserves to be shared more than usual for a few different reasons.
First, it’s a great idea and demonstrates just how much a photographer can push the edge of the envelope, especially when it comes to new directions.  Second, there’s a second [...]

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 [...]

Today’s blog might sound like an infomercial, but there’s simply no excuse for holes in your skill set.   There are websites, blogs and especially hands-on programming available, literally to EVERYBODY.
Akron Photo Series: I’m making it the first on the list, but it’s only because last week’s programming was pretty remarkable. We got Bambi Cantrell to the [...]

I’ve said it and written it a few dozen times:  The best part of the photographic industry has absolutely nothing to do with photography, but the friendships that come out of every one’s mutual love for the craft.  This morning, meet Joe Farace, photographer, writer and educator. He’s got that incredible trifecta of talent.
I’ve followed [...]

 
Last week I posted a press release about a new resource for photographers, PWSPI, Professional Wedding & Studio Photographers International.  The announcement is about a new program Scott Bourne and I have talked about  for some time. The announcement sparked a lot of great discussion and a few questions came up. Since the website, www.PWSPI.com [...]
