I recently saw an email blast from my buddy, George Varanakis at Rangefinder/WPPI. He listed the top ten reasons not to miss WPPI. Personally, I’d drop a few and add a few, one of them being your ability to interact with vendor after vendor to help strengthen your business. I’d also add, one trip to Vegas gets you exposed [...]
This week I wrote a post for GoingPro about making mistakes that will run some time over the next week or so. What prompted the post was listening to the panic-stricken voice of an aspiring professional photographer as he went through the “what if” reasons for not being ready to go pro, even though his work [...]
So many of you are about to hit any one of several major trade shows and conventions and you’ve got a choice to make. You can fly around the show at random, unorganized and trying to see everything you can, or focus on what you need the most and make it a quality experience.
For me, [...]
This is one of those weeks when we all tend to reminisce. So, in starting to look back over the last year, I found myself going back even farther and read one of my first posts, originally run on GoingPro, almost two years ago. Like the post I got my Dad to write over a [...]
Scott Bourne ran this post a few days ago on GoingPro, but it’s so relevant to everybody. He was targeting new photographers who were just turning pro, but here’s what I’ve seen with this tough economy. There are way too many people running around with great ideas and terrific dreams who are just afraid to [...]
If you’re headed to PMA or CES in a couple of weeks pay attention to two interesting programs.
How about a Las Vegas Photo Adventurewith professional photographer, Mark Comon as your tour guide? It all starts on Friday evening with a “how to” presentation and dinner is included. Then you’ll head into a night time shooting session [...]
GoingPro Bootcamp is scheduled for February 18 in Las Vegas. It’s going to be an amazing day, loaded with information about the business and marketing of professional photography. Due to an unexpected conflict in scheduling, Clay Blackmore will not be joining us at GoingPro Bootcamp. However, Michelle Celentano will be teaching with us and her [...]
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 [...]
A few weeks ago I wrote the following post for GoingPro. Well, it’s four weeks later and the year is rapidly coming to a close, but what’s really important is what you’re doing to get ready for 2012. Don’t accept that “it’s already December, I’m just not going to have time with the holidays to [...]
As much as this might sound like an infomercial, it’s also meant to get you thinking about every program you attend. Time will always be your most precious commodity and it’s imperative, especially when you’re attending a major convention, that you always get the very most bang for your buck.
Just a few weeks ago Scott [...]
